    This is one of two points that are referred to in the site report as an early triangular point. This point and the broken base of another point were "recovered in situ below Clovis" (McAvoy, 1997). Both points are thin and relatively flat in cross-section. They also have concave bases that have been thinned by removing small flakes by pressure flaking. This point has been heavily resharpened into a pentagonal shape. It's possible that it may have been considered worn out and discarded for another point. It measures 1 3/8 inches (3.5 cm) long.
