Description
This triangular point exhibits a distinctive morphology, characterized by a medium to large size and an elliptical cross-sectional profile. The blade edge displays a subtle curvature, ranging from straight to gently excurvate. The shoulders are either faintly defined or virtually nonexistent, oriented at an upward inclination. The stem expands downward, terminating in a base that can be either straight or concave, with the latter sometimes imparting an auriculate silhouette. The flaking pattern on this point is randomized, lacking a discernible order or sequence.
