Lake Mohave points were originally described from the Lake Mohave
district of southeastern California. They were recovered from the
surface and from ancient fossil beaches and terraces.

Lake Mohave points are slender lanceolate in shape with the broadest
part above mid-section, about three-quarters up from the base. The upper
lateral edges are slightly rounded. The over-all impression one has of
these lower edges is that of a long tapering stem. Lake Mohave points
may be faintly shouldered. Average dimensions are: length about 4.0 to
7.5 cm., width at the broadest part 2.5 to 3.0 cm. Workmanship, though
well-achieved, is characterized by irregular initial flake scars,
probably produced by direct percussion. Basal thinning was achieved by
multi-directional flaking.
The estimated age range of Lake Mohave points is from about 7,000 to
9,000 years. It is probable this point type is related to similar types
of the Southwest.
