In the thread below, I posted a photo showing miniature fluted points of the Barnes variety. Barnes is a Post-Clovis form of fluted point. Some see a relationship with Cumberland, others point out the technology is different, they simply resemble each other in form, to some degree, and both tend to have full length fluting channels at times. Anyway, as noted in that thread, I just brought the subject up because some comments seem to suggest the existence of miniature fluted points might not be generally known.
But, to the point, and the reason for this thread. Chuck asked that I post a photo of a miniature fluted point that either myself or my wife found. It's a little embarrassing since this is not the kind of fluted point that causes one to faint right on the spot. And indeed, I would not blame anyone if they said "give me a break". So, what I will do is post an article I wrote for Indian Artifact Magazine, in 2012. That mag was a great hardcopy venue for collectors. Edited by Gary Fogelman, it went out of business several years ago, after a long run, because Gary and his wife wanted to retire, and they could find no buyers for continuing its publication. So I'm thinking I can post this OK at this point in time, and I do so as it includes the opinions of 3 of the leading authorities on Paleo sites in New England, as well as the opinions of other regional authorities, commenting on this point. Chuck and anyone else can read the article, and form their own opinions.
So Chuck, don't laugh. Lol.
