BACK TO PAGE 5

   This Sub-Triangular point represents one of two

different styles of Nenana complex projectile points.

Chindadn points have rounded or tear-drop shaped

bases, this example has a very straight base. Moose

Creek is the first site in the Nenana Valley to produce

both the tear-drop and triangular style of Nenana

complex projectile points. This point was made on a

smooth flake of basalt by pressure flaking the edges

to shape it. It measures 1 1/16 inches (2.6 cm) long,

11/16 inch (1.7 cm) wide and 2 mm thick.
