DESCRIPTION

Small deltoid arrow points with no notches. In size and shape they are similar to the Small High Side-notch and Tri-notch and are often interpreted as performs or blanks for the making of those points (see image j below that appears to the initial stage of a tri-notched point). However, some of these points have been recovered hafted to arrow shafts, which supports their interpretation as finished arrow points.
