Description
This is a light grey chert projectile point. It has a concave base with basal thinning bi-facially. This point is beveled on alternating edges and is quite thick proportionally hinting that it was reworked from another point or bi-face. It most closely resembles the Guerrero or 'mission point', a historical contact point type.
