THEBES POINTS The five Thebes points pictured here are all very good examples of the Cache variety Thebes points. They all have the distinctive large rectangular notches and wide blades. The three largest examples, on the bottom row, have straight blade edges. They all have heavily ground bases and were resharpened one or more times. The point located second from the right is from Iowa all the other points were found in Illinois. The point in the center is the largest of the five. It is made of Avon chert and measures 6 15/16 inches (17.6 cm) long, 2 15/16 inches (7.5 cm)
wide and 3/8 inch (9 mm) wide.
