   This picture shows a magnified area of both notches on

the larger of the two Neralich cache bifaces from Olive

Branch. These notches are very similar to the notches on

the six "Thebes-like" points in the Beasley cache. The one

striking difference is the abrupt downward angle at the end

of the notch on both of the Neralich cache points. The

Beasley cache points also have narrow notches like these

but the downward angle at the end of the notches is not so

abrupt. These notches are very unique. They may have been

made with a copper punch. These notches measure 7/16 and

1/2 inches (1.1 & 1.2 cm) long.
