DESCRIPTION

Small triangular arrow points with high and deep side-notches, and the base is approximately the same width as the blade or wider. The base can be straight or concave but does not have an obvious notch in the center of the bottom, which distinguishes them from the similar Small Tri-notched points. They are distinguished from the Small Low Side-notched points by their relatively deeper and higher notches and the straight edges of the base just below the notches.
