DESCRIPTION

Small triangular arrow points with high and deep side-notches and a centrally located notch in the base. The base is approximately the same width as the blade or wider. Occasionally some Small Tri-notched points exceed the 16.5 mm Blade Width but are clearly this type because of their deep basal notch and the fine workmanship that characterizes many of them.
