Invinoveritas 8 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I wouldn't say Folsom or Clovis as it is not fluted. The hafting end is broken off of this corner notched projectile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frank c 969 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Well I did some research on the net and it seems not ALL Folsoms or Clovis points were fluted according to the "experts" Edited May 23, 2013 by frank c Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C... 721 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hi Frank I have to agree with Inv on this one-its deffinately not a clovis tip and you can sort of see from your photos that the bottom of it was broken off where the actual shaft tied around it-nice find anyway Mike C...

frank c 969 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Well I guess the guy that 1st looked at it wasn't that accurate with his opinion.I questioned him about that rear area of the piece missing and he said thats the way they were made.He had one similar to it years ago but not as good a condition as this one and he sold it.Thats why I've posted it to try to get others opinions.Thanks guys, one thing fer sure it has fantastic workmanship to it I appreciate seeing that.

Not sure he is here but he does lurk on Desertsunburn. He is certainly a top-cream of the crop knapper!Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
