This is a small to medium lanceolate shaped stemmed point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is primarily excurvate. Heavily re-sharpened examples may have the blade flare out at the shoulders edge. The blade is commonly serrated just above the hafting region and beveling is common on the left edge of each face.. The shoulders are formed by grinding and are most commonly weak to absent and at an upward slope, however, horizontal to slightly barbed shoulders may be seen. The stem ranges from slightly contracting to straight. The base is slightly concave and rarely straight. Grinding is usually seen on the hafting region. Pressure flaking us used to form this point forming a random flaking patter. Workmanship is generally very good to excellent.
