RETURN TO PAGE 2
   This point has very deep basal notches. The ends

of the barbs are even with the end of the stem and

the barbs curve inward rather than flaring outward

like other Fan-Eared points. It's a slight variation of

the type. This example is made of a semi-translucent

white chert of good quality and it measures 1 13/16

inches (4.6 cm) long, 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) wide and

1/8 inch (2.3mm) thick.
