Description

This medium-sized, triangular point exhibits a side notch configuration, characterized by an elliptical profile. The blade's curvature is outward, displaying an excurvate shape. Notches on the blade are typically shallow and parallel, forming a shoulder that can range from a horizontal orientation to a subtle, upward inclination. The stem's morphology varies, transitioning from an expanded to an expanding form. The basal edge is moderately convex or, conversely, slightly concave. The flaking pattern observed on this point is random, lacking a discernible, organized arrangement.
