Native American Relics
 I'm creating these
pages as a way to catalogue my collection and learn about point typology.
It's also the place where I'll be recording the notes I take while doing
research on ancient America. These points are not for sale though I am
occasionally interested in purchasing old collections especially if they are
personal finds. Personal recollections by the finder about the finding of the
artifacts are definitely of interest to me. Many times the story is more
interesting than the point itself.

North America. A medium to large size, auriculate, fluted, lanceolate point

Clovis -
Unfluted
11,50 - 10,600 B.P.
L 2-1/4" W 15/16"
Fort Pain Chert
Kentucky
Ex-Will Burchett collection
A medium to large size, auriculate point
identical to the fluted Clovis. A very rare type as most Clovis points are
fluted in their finished form. The flaking can be random to parallel. Clovis
is the earliest point type in the hemisphere. Clovis technology more closely
matches European Solutrean forms than anywhere else. There is no pre-Clovis
evidence here. The first Clovis find associated with Mastodons was in 1979
at Mastodon State Park, Jefferson Co., MO. in the Kimmswick bone bed dated
to 12,000 B.P. carbon years.
