Figueroa Point

This triangular side notch point exhibits a distinctive elliptical profile, with a blade that typically displays an excurvate curvature, although re-sharpened specimens may exhibit a straight or slightly incurvate edge. The shoulders are pronounced, ranging in orientation from horizontal to upwardly angled, but never extending to a barbed configuration. The stem, which expands from the base, features sharp basal edges at its junction with the base, and its width is generally comparable to that of the blade, although re-sharpened examples may display a slightly wider stem. The base of the point is characterized by a convex or slightly convex shape. The flaking pattern on this point is random, lacking a discernible order or organization. Overall, the point's morphology is marked by a blend of curved and angular features, with a sturdy stem and a variable base shape.

The dimensions of the arrowheads are characterized by the following measurements: overall length ranges from 20 to 65 mm, with a mean length typically falling between 35 and 45 mm. The stem measures between 9 and 18 mm in length. In terms of width, the blade spans 15 to 25 mm, while the neck and stem widths are similarly sized, ranging from 11 to 21 mm and 15 to 25 mm, respectively.

This arrowhead type is mainly located in southern Texas, particularly the lower Pecos region, and crosses into Mexico. It can also be discovered in the southwestern part of Texas and southern New Mexico, albeit less often. The range stretches into northern Durango, northern Zacatecas, and the northernmost part of Tamaulipas, Mexico
