    copied from the internet:
    This is a triangular thick broad medium to large corner notch point.  This point generally has an elliptical cross section, but some examples may have a flattened cross section.  The blade is broad and excurvate.  The shoulders may vary from barbed to having an upward angle.  The shoulders are the widest part of the point.  The stem is expanding, but some points may only have a slight expanding stem.  The base is convex and absent of grinding.  This point has a random flaking pattern.
    These points may have served many different purposes from knives to scrappers or points to ceremonial objects.  The Snyders point has many different variations that served different purposes or covered different time spans.  It is felt that the Hopewell and Snyders points may have been used in ceremonial purposes while the Affis Snyders point and the Manker point were more of the daily use points. (W2).
    This point is most common in the Ohio River Valley and into the Great Lakes areas and in area associated with the Hopewell culture.  It may also be found in the upper Mississippi River valley, Arkansas River valley, and the Tennessee River Valley (Red)  There are many sub-cultures of the Hopewell culture within this distribution.  The yellow section represents the sphere of influence or trading networks of the Hopewell Culture.
