This picture shows a very good selection of 19 Etley points
from
Missouri and Illinois. They illustrate a wide variation of
size and
shape. Several have the artistic recurved blade
edges. Others are
more straight and parallel sided with
steeply angled edges towards
the point. Etley bases vary in
style, from examples
that have wide and strongly barbed
shoulders to others with small
shoulders and no barbs. Also
notice the sharp points that Etleys are noted for. The most
obvious variation is the differences
in size. The Etley points
in this picture range in size from about 4
inches to 9 inches
long. All the examples illustrated here are made of Burlington
chert.
