- Lot Description
Paleo Indian, 10,000-8000 B.C.
3-7/8 in.While the exact provenance of this exceptional Clovis fluted point is unknown, the material it is manufactured of was almost certainly mined from the so-called "Silver Mound," a geological feature near the town of Hixon, in Jackson County, Wisconsin. While the "mound" is primarily composed of bedded Cambrian sandstone, a layer of silicated quartzite is present that was heavily mined by various prehistoric peoples. Often called, "sugar quartz" the material is dense, and easily flaked.
