may vary from straight to slightly expanding. The base is concaved to bifurcated. This point has a random flaking
pattern.

to 100 mm, Stem Length - 7 to 11 mm, Blade Width - 18 to

Distribution:
Distribution Comments:
This point is primarily found on the Piedmont of North Carolina and into Virginia and South Carolina.
Additional Comments:
This type generally has a longer narrower blade
than usually seen on Stanly points. The blade on these points are
primarily excurvate and lack the deeper serrations towards the base of the
blade while the Stanly point has a blade that is generally recurvate with
the serrations. These points could represent a Stanly point that has
not been re-sharpened and therefore retains the original shape of the blade,
or has been re-sharpened, but has retained the blade length.

Stanly Point Validity: Collector Type
This type has many references in collector type references. No professional
references that made a distinction between the Stanly type and this type were located. This may be the same type as described by Robert Wall he named Stanly / Neville, but there have been no additional
references to this type. This is considered a collector type.
