Xil Stemmed
Cluster: Northern Pacific Stemmed Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is an medium to large ovoid to contracting stem point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is excurvate and may have beveling. The stem is thin and long (1/3 to 1/2 the total length) and commonly beveled with little or no grinding present. The base ranges from pointed to convex. This point has a random flaking pattern.
