Abstract

The Kimberley spear point as a typological entity has always been problematical.A brief discussion on some types of ethnographic and prehistoric biface points from the Northern Territory and the Kimberley region of Western Australia seeks to clarity some of these problems.A hidierto unrecognised, but distinct, form of stone biface point with dentate margins from the Kimberley is described, and a clarification of terms used for margin treatment of stone points is presented.
