Projectile Point Fragment (300 BP)

From Swift Current Museum

Accession Number 1999.24.30

Date 300 bp

Description Fragment of a projectile point, likely made of chert. The fragment is specifically the concave base of a point with no side notches. The lack of notches narrows down the specific type of point quite a bit. However, it still bears resemblance to points of both spears and arrowheads. It seems possible that it is a Clovis or Basally Thinned Triangular spear point from the early Period. It could also be a Plains Triangular arrowhead from the Late Period, around 450 to 250 years before present (BP).
