Additional Comments:
Sturtevant and Walker (1979) discuss a medium to large corner notch point found on the Chilcotin Plateau of British Columbia. This is the area that this point is commonly found. There are no professional references reporting that this type is found within the United States. This point was reported to be found in Oregon by Overstreet, and has several collector type references. William Hranicky (2013) then reported this point with no references to where his information came from. If you have any references that contradict this and places this type in Oregon (other than Overstreet or Hranicky), please let us know.
