Burkett Point

This triangular point features a stemmed design with a medium size and an elliptical profile. Its blade exhibits a broad shape, characterized by a subtle curvature that can range from a gentle outward sweep to a straight edge. The shoulders of the point are generally aligned horizontally, although they may display a slight inclination, either curving outward in a barbed manner or angling upward to a limited degree. The stem itself can be straight or exhibit a slight contraction, terminating in a base that is either straight or convexly curved. The flaking pattern observed on this point is random, lacking a discernible order or orientation.

The dimensions of the arrowheads are as follows: they exhibit a total length ranging from 50 to 65 mm, with the stem portion measuring between 5 to 15 mm in length. The width of the blade spans 25 to 40 mm, while the stem width varies from 15 to 25 mm, based on an analysis of a limited dataset.

This type is mainly discovered in the southern Illinois region of the Ohio-Mississippi river junction of Indiana, Missouri, and Arkansas
