Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

Was out digging today and found this point!!!! I know it is Paleo, but not 100% on the type. I would love to get everyones input. I was thinking Clovis, Golondrina or some type of Dalton.

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

My guess would be Golondrina. Nice one at that.

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

I would have agree with Teh. It has the classic flared ears of a Golondrina. A plainview or clovis are generally straight down, but I am not an expert. Great point though!

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

This could be a Clovis,they are known to have the more rounded body with a short point.It looks like it could possibly be fluted. What's the other side look like? The base does fit the Golondrina type more closely, but there are examples of Clovis like this as well.Maybe it was reworked??

Nice find!

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

I agree with ALL the appraisals, it definitely has the distinctive Paleo look.

Being in such fine condition, Thats an absolutely wonderful find. Congratulations.

It's easy to imagine the tip shape as being from being resharpened..that would give it even more of a personal touch as the owner didn't just discard a
damaged piece until it was down to the nub..

Are we expecting to see more Paleo finds from that level or was it just a " washed in " find with younger artifacts ?

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

I hope there will be more but it is the first Paleo to come out of that site. It also came out of the last 2X2'' of dirt. Can't wait to get back and see what might be close by.

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

Just Beautiful!

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

Yes indeed !

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

awesome paleo. congrats. can i have it?

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

Golondrina all the way ! You gotta love finding that!

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

Super nice find!!

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

I am saying Golondrina as well, but its a great paleo piece forsure! Congrats & thanks for posting it...John

Re: Unearthed a Paleo point!!!!!!

Definately a Golindrina, A nice too. Nothing like finding one. Good Job. I am still looking for another one.
