The Buck Creek Barbed is medium to large sized, thin, broad, stemmed point with strong barbed shoulders and typically crafted with high quality flaking.
Some examples have needle tips.
The blade is triangular in overall shape with some examples being very elongated. The blade edges are usually straight but can be recurved or convex. The barbs and upper portion of the stem are produced by a corner notching technique. The lateral edges of the lower stem and the stem base are carefully chipped on both faces to produce a beveled edge. The stem is long and narrow in relation to the total length of the point and can be straight to slightly expanding .
