Unfluted Clovis or Plainview?

Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
little flutes! Surface find! Fred. Show last year they said unfluted Clovis! Bastop county on clay level!

Re: Unfluted Clovis or Plainview?

Just based on the very slight "turnouts" on the base, if it was mine , I sure as hell would call it a CLOVIS. Unfortunatly the pic does not do justice to the classic Clovis flaking.

Practically the find of a life time ! Congratulations.
Clovis comes in many sizes, I'm curious, How long is this beauty?

McWilliams was doing a screen dig somewhere out towards Bastrop a couple years ago and a few Paleo finds were the pride of the site.




Re: Unfluted Clovis or Plainview?

It is right at 3 inches long! I will take a better lighted pic for you Hal so you can see the flaking! I found it right were the clay level started, sticking straight up! Surface find and oh what a day that was!

Re: Unfluted Clovis or Plainview?

I've done some surfacing in my youth, Found a few sticking straight up as you describe. . .

When you pick them up they keep going and Going and GOING

Re: Unfluted Clovis or Plainview?

I agree, sure looks like an unfluted Clovis to me!

I bet that caused quite a stir at the site!
