Citrus
A Florida point type, (Bullen 1975) The Citrus is a medium to large basal notched point. A good description of a classic Citrus would be an ovate blade with a round base with two notches in the base, the notches are almost u shaped and chipped at such an angle as to leave the stem slightly expanding and the barbs square. Made of heat altered cherts and corals the Citrus point is found almost always in sites with Culbreath, Lafayette, Broward, Hernando and Florida Adena points. Caution, modern day knappers like this style. See Culbreath, Lafayette and Broward.
both of these large Citrus points were found in halves at the Novak site. Both are broken midway of the blade. the line you see in the one notch isn't the break it's just a colored line in the coral. I thought this would be interesting as it shows the notching was done on a finished blade, the one-notched one is made of pinhead coral and was probably broken during the notching process.
