A Find From My Youth.

[monsterrack]

While working for Halliburton in the oilfield industry a long long time ago, I got to spend a lot of time along the Red river north of Bossier La. I had got to know a lot of the locals and we started hunting rocks on the time off we had . I found this heart breaker along the Red river, at the time I thought it was broken from a long time rolling in the Red river because it does show some damage from that, but now I believe it was broken during the time it was being made. It is made from a high grade of Edwards flint. Also now that I have learned more on Clovis sites there are a good number in that area and even more to the west along the La. and Tx. state line all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. I don't get this one out much but thought some of you might like to see it.

Now that is what a true Clovis looks like. Well used, abused, and with lots of character. Awesome piece monster. Glad you decided to share that with us.

You don’t get this one out much??

Great Paleo find regardless of condition. If it was in my collection it would be a priority display piece taking precedence over many of my complete displayable projectiles or knives from the archaic or later time periods.

Man o man, that is a cool piece!

One side does look like it wasn't quite finished (first picture with the longer flute) but the second one almost makes it look rebased to me. Picture a 7 inch Clovis knife that broke in half, they kept the flute on one side (your second pic), and refluted the first side.

Joshua you may be very correct about this blade. I have been doing some reading on the Ready site in Jersey Co. Il. and some of the points from this site were made that way. I mean why waste a perfect good blade just because it broke in half. Very good eye you have.

Wow....still an awessome point even as a partial.
Congrats!!!
