RETURN TO PAGE 1

   This Clovis point was found on the Drake Clovis

site located north of the South Platte River in north

central Colorado. It's one of the most colorful Clovis

points ever found. Clovis caches are known for
their colorful and high quality lithic materials that

were used to make the items found in them. Even

optically clear quartz crystal was used to make at

least one of the large bifaces in the Simons Clovis

cache. This Clovis point is made of a rare form of

Alibates agate and it measures 3 1/2 inches (8.8 cm)

long.
