Cottonwood Triangular

Cottonwood Triangular points are small, unnotched, thin, triangular forms without discernible haft elements. Lanning (1963:252-253) initially defined the Cottonwood Triangular type at the Rose Spring site. Two variants were identified: Cottonwood Triangular and Cottonwood Leaf-shaped. Heizer and Clewlow (1968) added Cottonwood Bipointed. The general type is held to date post-c. 700 B.P. (Clewlow 1967; Bettinger and Taylor 1974; Thomas 1981:16).

Type Site: Rose Spring site (Riddell 1951).
