Jesse, if you figure it out let us know!!

They (the arrowheads) look to be on the thick side with a diamond shaped cross section just behind the tip?  I'm going to try to make this style of tip also.  ;D

Some Decauter tips are done like that.  Check out the Art Gumbus site, he shows a Decauter with a tip like that.  Bill

I dunno, the DECATUR points that I looked at just now have burins struck off the tip to create a "chisel" point, not a faceted or multi-sided point.

I tried to create the burinated point last night, and I got close, but nothing like the precise points you see in the picture above.  Need nuch more practice... ;D

Hi all, this is my first post so don’t boo me too much.
 
It's hard to tell from the photo , are the sides of the tips flat or are they a bit concave ?

 If they are flat I say the preform was ground to make that nice strong penetrating point then pressure flaked to put the rest of the cutting edge on .

If they are concave then I think they were flake in someway. I’m no expert, far from it but im going to try to make some that look like them.
