  • Could this be a broken Clovis base ?

    I was going though some of our broken pieces this caught my eye it is very managed but appears to have a flute and the base looks kind of Clovis style . It was found in a wash not far from here by my sons girlfriend at night .

        Looks like an Orient (fish tail) type. But from your handle I'm guessing you are not in the North East. Not sure about the stuff out west. Better pics would help. Interesting piece.

      Better pics would help but my guess is an impact fracture?

            Not being from the desert myself, I’m not sure what type it is.....but I can say what it’s not...and that would be Clovis. Still a cool find as is any artifact...congrats

              In the first photo of your second set, the point on the right looks like it has an impact fracture, as Greg suggested.

                I did a little more research and most likely they are basket maker two or three projectile points . Thanks so much for your patience with me as I want to learn as much as I can about the people who lived in this arena
