Cascade
Associated Dates: 8000-4000 Y.B.P. (see following text for more definitive range)
 
CASCADE A: see image CASCADE001 below for example(s)
"Cascade B is not of frequent occurrence (cf. Rice 1969, 1972), and is morphologically closest to the Windust C type variant. It is a slender lanceolate point with a slightly concave base. It is thin with a regular outline and cross-section, which creates a delicate appearance. Flaking patterns are variable to mixed. Serrated margins occur, and cross-sections are planoconvex, biconvex and trapezoidal.
Serrated margins are common, but not nearly as frequent as on the Cascade C variant. Cross-sections are usually biconvex or planoconvex, but trapezoidal cross-sections are common, and diamond cross-sections also occur." (Source: Idaho State University)
Type Sites: /Indian Well (Butler 1961); Weis Rockshelter (Butler 1962).
Temporal Distribution:/c.8000-4000 Y.B.P.; Early Archaic.

Temporal Distribution:c.8500-6500 Y.B.P. Early Archaic.
CASCADE C: see image CASCADE001 below for example(s)
"Cascade C is the classic Cascade type defined by Butler (1961, 1962, 1965). It is a slender lanceolate point with a markedly contracting basal margin. Flaking patterns are generally variable although tending toward mixed. Fine collateral flaking does occur. Serrated margins are common. Cross-sections are primarily biconvex, but the Cascade C specimens show markedly high[er] frequencies of diamond and trapezoidal cross sections than Cascade A and B type variants."

Type Sites: Indian Well (Butler 1961); Weis Rockshelter (Butler 1962).
Temporal Distribution: c.8000-4000 Y.B.P.; Early Archaic

ABOVE: CASC0001: common Cascade point types; the letters DO NOT correspond to typological references in the descriptive text preceding. The source of the line-drawings is Kenneth M. Ames, for the United States National Park Service (NPS), describing Cascade examples from the Clearwater area, and based on the work of Sappington, 1994. Forms are consistent elsewhere but absent from this grouping are Shouldered Cascade types.
