An inclusion in the chert, it shattered the Clovis blade when the fluting was being done. One face of this Hopkins County, Kentucky, piece shows very thin fluting flakes removed, and you can feel the Paleo hunter had the base ground for striking a flute from the opposite face (he almost flattened the basal edge with his grinding). Speculation here, but if the first fluting attempt didn't break the piece was it the rough handling while prepping for the reverse flute--did the point break IN his hands, That's my thought, but a knapper who specializes in replicating Paleo techniques might take issue with me--I'm NOT a knapper--one chip in the eye at age 19 was enough (for me) for a lifetime. You have to wonder how many one-eyed knappers there were through history? On this Clovis, there is excellent lateral grinding--they'd finished that part of the lance head. Length
(as-is) is 1&5/16" by 1&3/16". At its thickest the piece is 3.5/16"--not even close to a quarter inch thickness, so why did they go to all the trouble to flute the reverse face? Wish I had those answers--it's real, period. Shipping is $5.00, checks or M.O>s are welcomed. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
