GENERAL
DESCRIPTION: This long,
narrow, medium to large point has an expanded stem, with some having a hooked
appearance. The triangular blade may
have straight to convex sides, shoulders strongly barbed, and notches that
are broadly rounded. This point was
named by David A. Baerreis and Joan E. Freeman (1959:52) for examples found
in northeastern Oklahoma. AGE AND CULTURE: Associated with the Neosho
focus, a late Mississippian group that traded with the Caddo, the type is
found in rock shelters in Arkansas and Oklahoma. They date between A.D. 1200 and A.D. 1400. DISTRIBUTION: Northeastern Oklahoma, northwestern
Arkansas, southwestern Missouri, and southeastern Kansas. |
