   Most Avonlea points have concave bases but this

example has a straight base which is a slight variation

from the ideal type example of an Avonlea point. Apart

from that difference, this example fits the description for
Avonlea points fairly well with a triangular blade & edges

that are slightlyconvex and "u" shaped side-notches that

are close to the base. ThisAvonlea point is made of a

translucent chert of very good quality and it measures

1 1/8 inches (2.8 cm) long.
