| Description | Point or arrowhead. Obsidian flaked stone tool. Triangular point with notch in one side. Point is chipped. Thin and translucent. 29-183-21 is one of many stemmed points in the collection. However, like 13168, it is also very finely chipped and triangular in shape. The stem is simply a nodule along one side. Both of these pieces are unlike the stemmed points which appear in Late Paleolithic and have more in common with the Jomon to Yayoi forms. |
