This is the Clovis point that David Olmstead found
"sandwiched" in-between two engraved stones on the Gault
site. One ear is damaged and it's been extensively resharpened to
the point where it was probably no longer useful as a spear point. The
configuration of it's placement in between two engraved stones is interesting.
But the reason why it was left in this position over 11,000 years
ago can only be speculation. This Clovis point is made
of Alibates chert and measures 2 1/4 inches (5.7 cm) long.
