Sutter Point

This triangular point exhibits a slender profile with a compressed cross-sectional morphology. Its blade is characterized by a predominantly straight edge, although some specimens may display a subtle outward or inward curvature. A notable feature of this point is the presence of fine serrations along the blade's edge. The shoulders are equipped with short, stubby barbs that are generally less pronounced than those found on Gunther-type points. The stem tapers inward, varying in length from relatively short to extended. The overall craftsmanship of this point is typically of high caliber, with a flaking pattern that appears to be randomly distributed, lacking a discernible pattern or orientation.

This projectile was identified from specimens in the Sacramento Valley and adjacent hills where it is predominantly located, but can also occur throughout the range of the Gunther variety
