Barreal Point

This triangular point features a slender, stemmed profile with an elliptical cross-sectional shape. Its straight-edged blade exhibits pronounced serrations, lending a distinctive texture to its surface. The shoulders, when discernible, are subtly defined and inclined at an upward slant. The stem itself is characterized by a straight to slightly flared morphology, terminating in a concave base. Notably, the point displays extensive basal grinding, a technique employed to carefully shape the stem. The flaking pattern observed on this artifact is random, lacking a discernible sequence or orientation.

The dimensions of the arrowheads are as follows: they range in overall length from 18 to 33 mm, with stem lengths spanning 7 to 10 mm. The width of the blade varies between 13 and 21 mm, while the stem width measures between 10 and 17 mm.

This type is mainly located in the northwest part of Chihuahua, Mexico, and extends into southern New Mexico and the westernmost area of Texas, known as the Trans Pecos region.
