Description
Meduim sixed projectile point. Relatively wide where the ears poke out (some arrowheads have "ears" which are the parts that jut over the notches). The base of the point has a notch knapped into the center of it going up a tiny bit into the bottom. One side of the bottom has a black shiny substance that runs a ways into the point in a tiny crack. It looks like ink from a ballpoint pen but upon closer analysis, I think it might be a mineral deposit of sorts left over in the arrowhaead. It actually might be a small amount of hematite seeing as hematite is what gives chert brown, red, or yellow coloration. Appears to be either a Glendo Arrow or perhaps traded to the people who lived in the Little Malad Stream area by residents of the the Pelican Lake area.
