Clovis?

[Benji]

I almost talked myself out of going hunting this morning....either way I'm glad i went....i think i found a Clovis...it has some ear damage, but overall, in nice condition, especially due to age, if in fact i have found my first clovis....i see a little fluting on one side, but id like to get more eyes on this and see what your thoughts are....any input is appreciated.....

[paohrocks]

Very nice find Benji, if not fluted it has been basally thinned and the sides are ground. Excellent work!

[Benji]

Thank you paohrocks

[Hoss]

Yes that is an awesome artifact. Makes me want to drive over there from East Tn and do some hunting with you.

Boy when you find em.....you find um! Can’t tell you what you got but it’s special.....keep on huntin’......👍....✌️

[Benji]

Thank you north....i appreciate it

[oldrocks2]

Sure has all the signs, shape, ears, base thinning, hafting area grinding. One face has what looks like a flute that has been reduced by later base thinning. Never have found a whole clovis but have a few of the replicas from LCL just for looking at traits. If I found this point it would go in the book as a clovis. In any case you made a super find, that's a WOW . congrats.

Have compared also,, Agree with you...And wait for someone to tell me why it’s not..A good way to get more knowledge...

Thank you clovisoid

[cgode]

That is a nice find!! Sure looks Clovis.....I’d probably have fallen over when I spotted that! Congrats

[Benji]

Thank you cgode....i didnt fall over but was in shock....you know i hunted that area good after i found this.....nothing else....but im satisfied.....really didnt expect to find anything...just a random occurrence but i guess that is the way it works

[antmike915]

Awesome find Benji, definitely looks like it. Hopefully it is a Clovis

[Benji]

Thanks antmike....ive heard redstone thrown around too, but looks like consensus on here is clovis.....either way, im pumped about it

[oldrocks2]

Your point don.t have the diamond outline or straight edges of the blade for a redstone.

[Benji]

I agree....i wasnt too convinced of a redstone either

Looks like one to me, unfortunately never handled one in real life, so my opinion doesn't count for a lot. I did spent some extra time researching them early this month when I found a fluted/basal thinned piece. People seem to love splitting hairs over what to call these points. I don't think there is much doubt it's at least close to the age if a Clovis.

[Benji]

Thanks flint
