Basal Thinned Triangular Point

This triangular point exhibits a slender, elliptical profile, with its medium-sized blade featuring an excurvate shape that curves inward at the tip. The blade's width peaks approximately at its midpoint, creating a distinctive silhouette. The lower portion of the blade displays variability, ranging from a parallel alignment to a subtle curvature that recurves toward the base, or, in some cases, a slight auriculate swelling. The base of the point is generally characterized by a slight concavity, although it can also appear nearly straight. The basal area typically shows evidence of one to three flakes having been removed from each face, and basal grinding is a consistent feature of this point.

These artifacts are documented in the Alberta grasslands and throughout the British Columbia mountain ranges. They are discovered in the Greater Forks area and beside the coastlines of the former Glacial Lake Saskatchewan.
