Adams County Lobed Point

This triangular bifacial point exhibits a distinctive morphology, characterized by a cross-sectional shape that ranges from flattened to elliptical. The blade's profile can vary, displaying either an excurvate or straight alignment. The shoulders typically assume a horizontal orientation, although they may occasionally slope upward at a slight angle. The stem is notable for its expanding form, accentuated by prominent lobes, while the basal ears are generally rounded in contour. Evidence of basal grinding is often present on this point type. The flaking pattern observed on this artifact is random, lacking a discernible order or sequence.

The arrowhead's dimensions are characterized by the following measurements: its overall length ranges from 34 to 55 mm, while the stem measures between 12 and 15 mm in length. The blade's width spans 25 to 30 mm, and the stem's width falls within the range of 22 to 28 mm. Additionally, the neck width is observed to be between 16 and 24 mm, noting that this particular measurement is derived from a limited dataset.

This projectile is mainly located in the central to northern Susquehanna River Valley region. This projectile is a variation of the Susquehanna Bifurcated, thus it may have a restricted occurrence in the same geographic range as that variant.
