¥&' ^o' 4"/" JOHN H. KERR RESERVOIR BASIN — MILLER 103 



Type 2a : Ovate with slight indication of an incipient stem. 



Outline: Essentially ovate vs^ith a slight protrusion at the spot forming a 



slight shoulder. 

 Lateral edges: Slightly convex. 

 Base: Decidedly rounded. 

 Length: Varies from 30 to 90 mm. 

 Width: Varies from 21 to 35 mm. 

 Thickness: Varies from 7 to 14 mm. 

 Distribution: Not plentiful. Specimens have been noted from Alabama, 



Tennessee, and New Mexico. 

 Rescmilances : Comparable to Sandia type 1 in outline and in chipping scars. 

 Type 2b : Essentially the same as type 2a with the exception that the base is more 

 rectangular in shape and slightly concave with a certain amount of basal 

 thinning. In cross section this form tends to be more diamond shaped while 

 the type 1 is more lenticular. These points are not numerous and can be 

 confused with iwints of later cultures because of their chipping and a certain 

 amount of lopsidedness and because of being single shouldered. Resembles 

 Sandia type 2. 

 Type 3a : Outline somewhat triangular in that the lower basal section of the 

 ovate is either flattened or squared. 

 Lateral edges: Slightly convex. 

 Base: Flattened or squared. 

 Length: Varies from 40 to 102 mm. 

 Width: Varies from 16 to 25 mm. 

 Thickness: Varies from 7 to 14 mm. 

 Cross section: Lenticular. 



Distrihution: Found throughout the eastern United States in the Archaic and 

 Early Woodland horizons. 

 Type 3b : This type is essentially the same as that of tyi>e 3a with the exception 

 that the base forms an obtuse angle rather than being squared. 

 Length: Varies from 46 to 93 mm. 

 Width : Varies from 19 to 25 mm. 

 Thickness: Varies from 7 to 13 mm. 



Cross section: Mostly lenticular; occasionally it may be diamond shaped. 

 Distribution: Same as for type 3a. 

 Type 3c : Essentially the same basic outline as that of type 3a with the exception 

 that the base is slightly concave. 

 Length: Varies from 45 to 99 mm. 

 Width: Varies from 16 to 29 mm. 

 Thickness : Varies from 7 to 15 mm. 

 Cross section: Practically all are lenticular but occasionally one might turn 



up which is diamond shaped. 

 Distribution: Same as for type 3a. 

 Type 4 : 



Outline: Lanceolate with contracting basal section, flat base, and rounded 

 shoulders. 

 Lateral edges: Slightly convex. 



Base: Flat, occasionally a faint indication of being incurvate. 

 Length: Varies from 58 to 93 mm. 

 Width: Varies from 19 to 37 mm. 

 Thickness: Varies from 8 to 17 mm. 

 Cross section: Somewhat on the flattish lenticular. 

 Distribution: Same as for type 3a.
