Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern: This is a thick broad medium to large (2 to 4.5 inches) triangular stemmed point with an elliptical cross section.  The blade ranges from straight to excurvate.  The shoulders are usually broad and horizontal, but may have a slight upwards angle.  The junction of the shoulder and the stem is rounded.  The stem is straight to slightly contracting.  The base is primarily straight. But may vary from slightly convex to slightly concave.  This point has a random flaking pattern formed by percussion flaking and pressure flaking along the edges.

Comes with a card with the above information on it.

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