Beaver Lake
Description:
This point is mainly found in the southeastern states. It is an auriculate (ears that project from the base), medium to large size lanceolate blade with ears that flare, curving out and away. The bases of the stems are ground, and blade edges are recurved.
The key to identification of this point type is the Paleo flaking and the tapering shoulders. This type point is associated with the Cumberland but is thinner than the unfluted Cumberland.
