Description
This triangular corner notch point exhibits a compact to moderate size and an elliptical profile. Its blade edge is predominantly excurvate, although occasional specimens may display a straight configuration. The presence of parallel notches gives rise to straight, horizontal shoulders, with double notches appearing only infrequently. The stem expands outward, terminating in a base that is either straight or subtly concaved. The flaking pattern on this point is characterized by a random, non-directional arrangement of flakes.
