FLUTED POINT

(EASTERN STYLE)TENNESSEE

PRIVATE COLLECTIONRETURN TO PAGE 1

This fluted point is reported to have been found in

Tennessee. Other than that, very little is known about

its history. It is a style of fluted point that occurs in

states east of the Mississippi River and can be found

in the same states that Cumberland and Barnes points

are found. This style of fluted point is much thinner than

the more heavy duty Cumberland and Barnes points

and in this respect they are closer to Folsom and Crowfield

points. One side of this point is double fluted to the tip.

The other side is also double fluted but only half and three

quarters of its length. This point reflects a Paleo craftsmen's

knowledge and skill of fluting that is difficult to replicate

today. This point measures 3 7/8 inches (9.8cm) long, 1 1/8

inches (2.8cm) wide and 1/4 inch (6mm) thick.

An eastern style fluted point with "long flutes."
