Frost Island Point

This projectile point exhibits a triangular form with a medium size and an elliptical profile. Its blade features an excurvate shape, characterized by an inward curvature towards the apex, which then reverses direction, sweeping back towards the shoulders. The shoulders themselves are positioned at an upward inclination and display a rounded junction where they converge with the blade. The stem section is distinguished by its expanding shape. The basal edge can present some variation, ranging from a straight line to a subtle concavity. The flaking pattern observed on this point is random, lacking a discernible order or organization.

The arrowheads exhibit the following dimensional characteristics: their overall length ranges from 40 to 100 mm, with a typical average length of 45 to 55 mm. The stem of these arrowheads measures between 14 to 22 mm in length, with an average stem length of 15 mm. In terms of blade dimensions, the width varies from 20 to 40 mm, averaging between 22 to 25 mm. The stem width ranges from 15 to 25 mm, with an average width of 20 mm.

This type is mainly located in the Susquehanna and Delaware River basins, extending into Connecticut.
