CLOVIS PREFORM
This Clovis preform was found several years ago by a road maintenance crew
member somewhere in the St. Louis by-state area. A large wide flute was
struck from one side but there is no indication that any further attempt
was made to flute the other side or finish the point any further. The
striking platform remnant on the basal edge has not been altered. This
preform is made of white Burlington chert. It measures 2 13/16inches
(7.1 cm) long and 1 3/8 inches (3.5 cm) wide. |
