SNYDERS POINT
This fine and "classic" example of a Snyders point was found just
across the Illinois River to the east of the site in Jersey County.
It's made of heat treated Burlington chert and measures 3 1/16
inches (7.7 cm) long and 1 13/16 inches (4.6 cm) wide. Snyders
points were made in a wide range of shapes but most of them have
large corner notches and rounded bases. The Snyders site produced
large numbers of these points. Most of them are broken at their
bases. Only a small percentage are complete.
