DESCRIPTION: The Holcombe point ranges in size from 34 to 68 mm in length, 16 to 26 mm in width, and 3 to 7 mm in thickness. Basal thinning length is 4 to 29 mm and concavity depth ranges from 4 to 6 mm. Like the Crowfield points described elsewhere, these points display maximum width at or above their mid-point. Their basal concavitied have small ears, but lack fishtails. However, unlike Crowfield points, the Holcombes never exhibit shoulders along their lateral edges, or the extreme edge expansion from the base. Holcombe points frequently have plano-convex cross sections, and are narrower and more elongated in appearance, and are never pentagonal in outline shape, but have smooth convex lateral edges. Surface flaking consists of shallow, nattow, parallel to collateral, unpatterned retouch which does not consistently terminate at the mid-line. A short, abrupt, unifacial retouch is applied to shape the basal concavity and often to round off the basal corner. The base was thinned by short, often multiple, contracting to parallel sided to expanding flake removals. The lower lateral edges and basal concavity are lightly ground.
