bushman are you informed? Overstreet has done a great job on grading point values as well as type points through out north america. If you read the book they give a good detail of points which are ground, stemed. serrated, even the type of flaking involved. Materials from which the point types are made in certain parts of the north americas. They also have great articles about sites and the type of points which are from a general group. And no a humbolt is not a clovis. yes they have certain traits but any one who reads and studys could figure that out. maybe you should read a little bit more. The book gives a lot of educational information i give it a 10. by the way i have advertisement in it, because it has helped out millions of collectors, dealers, as well as people who now nothing of what they have found. and they even had a article to educate people about the laws regarding collecting.

I’m learning more everyday about grading and such. I do understand the thin, fragile point is the winner on the scale but to find a fatty cash blade for me is like a little stroll down “AWESOME” Lane. I may sound like a flake but I have to tell you to me it is so neat to find something and believe that the last person touching it was an indian. I am a part of a monster size collection of artifacts and I hope I never have to sell a one of them.

For the uninformed they are a hindrance.They dont know how to grade or id ,so to them a $50. humbolt looks like a$1000.clovis.I would like to see books like overstreet do more on identification besides one or two lines,and less on the price.
