These large bifaces display very high length to width ratios. Distinctive are round corner-notches on an ovate preform. Snyders points have convex lateral edges with long, barbed shoulders, and short expanding stems with a straight or slightly convex basal edge.
Maximum width is just above the stem, which is often also the area of maximum thickness.
Snyders points are marked by 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 is produced by removal of one thick, round flake from the lower corner of each lateral edge. Specimens with edge bevelling may be resharpened points, and limited grinding or rubbing sometimes occurs on the base. Snyders points are an early to mid Hopewellian type and should date towards the end of the first half of the Middle Woodland stage in south-western Ontario.
