- Lot Description
Native American, Midwest United States, eastern Missouri, Warren County, Paleo-Indian Period, ca. 13000 to 8000 BCE (15,000 to 10,000 BP). An impressively preserved Clovis type projectile point expertly hand-knapped from chert. Boasting a reddish tan-hued surface, this ancient weapon presents a lengthy, auriculated lanceolate form with a grounded, concave base and an excurvate blade that displays its widest part at its midsection. A shallow grove known as a flute extends one-third up from the base on both sides and terminates in a step fracture. The remarkable blade would have been made using percussion flaking to shape and thin the blade and pressure flaking used to trim or dress it, leaving behind a collateral flaking pattern with a high median ridge. Size: 4.1" L x 1.25" W (10.4 cm x 3.2 cm)
Identified by Edgar B. Howard in 1935, the Clovis type of point is thought to be the earliest projectile point used by Paleo-Indian people. Clovis type points, like this example, are most heavily concentrated throughout the Ohio, Tennessee, and Mississippi River basins and the eastern United States, yet also can sometimes be found in the Plains regions of the United States and Canada and, on rare occasion, discovered west of the Continental Divide.
