Durango Point

This artifact exhibits a distinctive triangular form with a side notch configuration, characterized by an elliptical cross-sectional profile. The blade itself is slender and exhibits a pronounced excurvate shape, with the edges converging above the shoulder area to form a nearly parallel alignment before curving inward toward the apex. The notches, which are broad and shallow, intersect the preform's lateral margins, creating a shoulder that is relatively weak and inclined at an upward angle. The stem, which expands outward, is narrower than the shoulder and terminates in a straight base. The flaking pattern observed on this point is random in nature. Additionally, the point features a pentagonal stem with a cross-sectional profile that has been flattened.

The dimensions of the arrowheads are characterized by a blade width ranging from 13 to 16 millimeters, with a mean width of 15 millimeters. The thickness of the arrowheads measures between 5 and 7 millimeters, with an average thickness of 6 millimeters. Note that these measurements are based on a limited sample size.

This type has been documented from the Las Nieves complex to the later Guadiana localities of Durango and extending into southern Chihuahua
