Andice Basal Notch
Cluster: Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium to large triangular basal notch point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is broad and excurvate. The shoulders are strongly barbed with the thinnest portion of the barb being where the barb and blade meet. The stem may vary from slightly contracting to slightly expanding. The base is most commonly concave, but may vary to straight. This point has a random flaking pattern.
Size Measurements:
Total Length - 40 to 80 mm, Stem Length - 11 to 27 mm (approx. 1/3 of the total length of point), Blade Width - 35 to 55 mm, Stem Width - 14 to 20 mm (***based on small sample size***)

Additional Comments:
This point is similar to the Bell point, but may be distinguished by the larger size of the point and longer stem and barbs. The stem on this type are most commonly straight to slightly expanding while the stem on the bell type are more commonly slightly expanding (Turner and Hester, 1985).
