Hell Gap points, similar to many other Early Man types, are essentially lanceolate-shaped. Upper lateral edges are slightly rounded, while lower lateral edges taper in straight lines to the generally narrow, slightly to noticeably rounded, occasionally nearly straight base. These points are commonly broadest at mid-section, but examples are known which are broadest a little below this point. Lower lateral edges are offset from the broadest section to such a degree that one is inclined to consider Hell Gap points stemmed. Dimensions are: length 4.5 to 8.8 cm., and width 2.0 to 3.0 cm. Workmanship is not nearly as fine as on Folsom points. Flaking was produced by direct percussion, with occasional secondary edge trimming by pressure. Initial flake scars on point faces are irregular; basal thinning was accomplished by multi-directional flaking. The stem and base are smoothed through grinding; basal smoothing may be absent on some specimens. Surface specimens have been found in many parts of Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. Similar points are also known from California and parts of Texas. The most northerly known occurrence is Alberta, in Canada. [Illustration: _Hell Gap_] MIDLAND POINTS Midland points were first discovered at the Scharbauer Site near Midland, in West Texas. They were evidently contemporaneous with Folsom points, which they greatly resemble. [Illustration: _Midland_] Formal description of Midland points has not yet been made. They are mentioned, however, as appearing a great deal like Folsom points in shape, size, and thinness, but are distinct from them in not being fluted. Otherwise they are apparently of the same fine workmanship and technological tradition as Folsom points. Deposits in which a Midland point fragment was found with human remains at the Scharbauer Site have been dated to about 11,000 years ago, indicating a time range for this point type corresponding to that of Folsom. Similar points have been found near Lubbock, Texas; central New Mexico; and as far east as San Augustine County, Texas. Possibly they will be found to occur in other districts on or near the Llano Estacado. Quite frequently they are found together with Folsom points in west Texas and New Mexico localities. PLAINVIEW POINTS Plainview points were first defined on the basis of type specimens recovered from a bison kill site near Plainview in the Texas Panhandle. [Illustration: _Plainview_]
