done some heavy digging,,but found that old C.S.A.J,,ok,,ok,,Karen found it.

[Palmwood]

That small concave area on the tip is heavily ground as was done in the original point. Very interesting artifacts.

[cgode]

wow, that is very cool!!

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, and I don't believe they are, those are impact flutes and there's nothing Clovis about this piece. The flake terminations tell the story. Definitely NOT a Clovis reworked.

Yes Roger,,,the heavily ground concave base of the original point is very interesting. only way this could happen,,imo

Your eyes are deceiving you. That is why I mentioned the grinding. What are you looking for on the flake terminations?

[joshuaream]

The older I get the more respect I have for Greg, but I see a point with two impact fractures.

[George Looney]

Dosen't a flute end with a flake termination ??
.
I would like to hear what Knife River has to say bout this.

[Shawn]

Joshua sees it.

And no, my eyes aren't deceiving me, palmwood. According to the flake scars, the "flutes" came AFTER the Scottsbluff point was made. It's definitely not a reworked Clovis.

The impact scars are INTRUSIVE to the Scottsbluff manufacturing scars. That is, the "flutes" came AFTER the Scottsbluff was made.
