   This point is primarily associated with the Eastern Seaboard region of the United States, into the Gulf Coastal region and the Tennessee River and Ohio River basins.  This point is found into the Mississippi River Basin and the Northeastern United States with decreased frequency.  The shoulders are strongly barbed, however the barbed may become slightly weaker in examples with heavily re-worked blades.  The stem is expanding.  The base may vary from straight to concave, but infrequently are convex.   

** Even though we titled these as "arrowheads" they were most likely used with a spear/dart and atlatl (spear thrower)
