Description
This artifact exhibits a distinctive triangular form with a corner notch, characterized by an elliptical profile. The blade's curvature can range from a subtle outward convexity to a straight alignment, displaying variability in its outline. The shoulders of the point are marked by barbed protrusions, which transition into an expanding stem. A straight base provides a stable foundation for the point. The flaking pattern observed on this specimen is random, lacking a deliberate or organized arrangement of flakes.
