Research Notes

Notes

Etley Middle to Late Archaic 4100-2500 years ago (shoulders are straight, indicating that this is a stemmed point and not corner notched. However, stem looks very similar to Cupp projectile point with the exception of the notches. See also Projectile Point Types in Missouri and Portions of Adjacent States, pg 34, figure 17g)
