The Searcy type is a small to medium sized lanceolate point with a slightly concave basal edge and featuring a distinct contracting stem . The blade edges are excurvate , to straight to recurvate depending upon the extent and nature of resharpening.
Many examples show delicate serrations above the hafting area .
The majority of specimens are beveled . Grinding on the stem edges and in the basal concavity is usually heavy however there are some specimens where grinding is absent. Due to their workmanship and style and the strata in which they have been carbon-dated , the Searcy type is quite definitely an Early Archaic point. Highly reworked specimens will show more pressure flaking and a steep bevel on the left side of each blade face. The cross-section is rhomboidal.
