DESCRIPTION: Snyders points are large bifaces and range in size from 55 to 75 mm in length, 40 to 60 mm in width, and 8 to 9 mm in thickness. Internotch width ranges from 19 to 25 mm. The shape is quite distinctive with bold round corner notches on am ovate preform. The lateral edges are always convex, forming long barbed shoulders and short expanding stems with slightly convex bases. The maximum width is low on the blade, usually just above the notches. Cross sections are generally plano-convex. Snyders points show a high degree of workmanship, rarely seen on contemporaneous locally-made Saugeen points. As few as five or six broad, flat bifacial thinning flakes are removed from each lateral edge to finish the preform. The corner notch, which appears to be made by the removal of one thick, round flake from the lower corner of each edge, was likely fed by several smaller preparation notches. Pressure retouching is minimal, with most of it being done on the barbs and base. Limited grinding sometimes appears on the base.
