DESCRIPTION: is a slender lanceolate point with a
markedly contracting basal margin. Flaking patterns are generally variable, although
tending toward mixed. Fine collateral flaking does occur. Serrated margins are
common. Cross-sections are primarily biconvex, but the Cascade Type (3)
specimens show markedly higher frequencies of diamond and trapezoidal
cross-sections than Cascade Type (1) and Type (2) variants.
