Early Man Projectile Points in the Southwest

by Kenneth Honea

SCOTTSBLUFF II POINTS

These points are probably of the same age and distribution as those of the Scottsbluff I type.

Scottsbluff II points are morphologically quite similar to those of the Scottsbluff I type with these exceptions: the lateral edges of the point body on Scottsbluff II points are straight, giving this portion of the point a definitely triangular outline; in addition, the point body is relatively broader at the shoulders, and the shoulders are more markedly offset from the stem than on Scottsbluff I points. Also, the former are generally shorter and thinner than those of the latter type.
