BASE OF A
CLOVIS POINT
McKINNIS CLOVIS CACHE This Clovis point was found approximately 100 feet from the McKinnisClovis cache. It is the only other Clovis artifact that was reported from this site. It has multiple basal thinning flakes, one very large
percussion flake removal and a portion of one edge particularly well done pressure flaking that is actually similar to some Folsom point edges. This point is made of Burlington chert and it measures 2 1/4 inches (5.6 cm) long, 1 1/4 inches (3.2 cm) wide and 1/4 of an inch (6 mm) thick. |
