Russian term or phrase: острия с притупленным краем и основанием
My archaeology dictionary gives "backed bladelet" for "пластинки с притупленным краем" so I guess "backed point" would do for "острия с притупленным краем", but I don't get the основанием.

tanged point
Tanged points are projectile points that have a tang at one end to facilitate hafting. A tang is made by retouching one, or more usually both edges, in order to create a projection that is thinner than the width of the blank. This projection is then fitted into the arrow shaft.

Tanged point - A1 are projectile points that are made from naturally pointed blade blanks that have no, or little, retouch except for the tang which is created by direct retouch.
