Early Man Projectile Points in the Southwest

by Kenneth Honea

SANDIA III POINTS

Sandia III points were discovered in 1954 together with Sandia I, Sandia II, and other Early Man points in a series of blow-outs near Lucy, central New Mexico.

Sandia III

Single-shouldered Sandia III points are similar in all respects to Sandia II points with these exceptions: the base on specimens of the Sandia III type is consistently deeply concave, and the stem portion is always vertically fluted.
