Shipping included, nothing above the listed price on this Paleo Lanceolate. Is it Clovis. Gainey Clovis (a more narrow form of the 'classic Clovis', or is it an Unfluted Clovis--that last is my impression. The Paleo knapper used a natural 'dish in' at the base of the lance as a ready-made flute, it wasn't necessary to risk breaking the Burlington Chert by a flute strike. Included in the pictures is a close up of the lateral flake taken off the basal edge. Was that damage from use, or was it part of the basal thinning process. It has the same 10,000BP patination of the chert, it's ancient whether accidental or deliberate; it also took away what should have been basal grinding and the auricles (one is fully gone, one is partially gone. Length is 2/75"x1". Two notes I want to make: the lateral edge grinding, each side, EXtra heavy lateral edge grinding, and in places the flaking technique is Outre Pas, a flake starts at the blade edge, travels past the medial ridge. Only Paleo knappers mastered that trick, although you might argue the Elk River points did the same. The edge grinding was the first thing noticed when the piece was first picked up, nice work. Assuming I have the provenance correct the lance comes from a far S.W. County, Indiana--it was originally somewhat longer, suffered a use impact fracture to the tip, then salvage. Tip impact fractures often leave a length-wise channel flake--here you see it on the one edge of the tip, time patinated, authentic in every detail. I welcome checks, cash, or M.O.s however I do not use paypal--Roy A.
