SOLUTREAN LAUREL- This small laurel-leaf point was found on the Laugerie Haute site on the Vezere River in southwestern France. These small bifaces are believed to have been used as projectile points that once tipped the ends of spears or darts. They were probably thrown with the use of a spear thrower. This point is made of a semi-translucent honey colored chert and measures 2 9/16 inches (6.5 cm) long 1 1/16 inches (2.7 cm) wide and 5/16 inch (.7 cm) thick.
