Diablo Corner Notch
Cluster: Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a small to medium triangular expanding stem to corner notch point with a thin elliptical cross section. The blade varied from slightly excurvate to straight with the widest portion of the blade being just above the shoulders. The shoulders range from horizontal to being at an upward angle. The stem is expanding with a base that varies from straight to slightly concave and rounded basal corners. This point is made from a thin flake and finished with poor quality pressure flaking forming a random flaking pattern.
