Benjamin Point

This lanceolate point exhibits a sizable, elongated form with a cross-sectional profile that is distinctly elliptical in shape. Its blade edge is characterized by a pronounced outward curvature, while the base can display a range of morphologies, including a concave shape or a straight edge, often accompanied by deliberate basal thinning to enhance its aerodynamic properties. The pattern of flake scars on the point's surface appears to be irregular and non-directional, indicative of a random flaking technique.

The arrowheads exhibit a range of dimensions, with lengths spanning 54 to 100 mm, and an average length of 66 mm. In terms of width, they measure between 22 and 32 mm, with a mean width of 26 mm. The thickness of these artifacts falls within a range of 9 to 12 mm.

This type mainly occurs in northern Alabama and extends into south central Tennessee, northeastern Mississippi, and northwestern Georgia
