Shoals Creek Point

This triangular stemmed point exhibits a medium to large size profile, characterized by an elliptical cross-sectional shape. The blade morphology fluctuates between excurvate and straight configurations, often displaying asymmetry, where one edge maintains a straighter alignment compared to the other. Repeated resharpening can introduce serrations along the blade's edge. The shoulders are notable for their asymmetry, with one shoulder being more pronounced, typically ranging from slightly barbed to horizontal, while the opposing shoulder is less prominent, often oriented horizontally or at an upward angle. The stem is straight, terminating in a base that can be slightly convex or concave. The flaking pattern on this point is random, lacking a discernible or consistent pattern.

This type is mainly discovered in northern Alabama, yet can also be located throughout the entire Tennessee River Valley region
