Fluted point??

[Smarker]

From Texas. Ground base and a bit up the sides. Any ideas of type?

Looks like a reworked paleo, possibly a clovis.

Looks like it to me , the first 3 pics I wasn’t sure but the last one really looks like a fluted point that’s been reworked a few times. Nice point .... that a personal find ? Is it made from KRF?

Clovis. No doubt in my mind. Gary

I was also gonna say reworked.

I remember when that piece was posted on another forum, I was surprised at the discussion. I see paleo, but a lot of Texans didn't.

This may be an exhausted Pedernales. They are commonly "fluted" and after losing width and length from resharpening, they are frequently mistaken for much earlier points.

Sure has a paleo look the flute is to long for a perd .

 

[Relicgrubber]

I agree with Pedernales…

To go along with the discussion on Clovis. I would call it a Barber before Clovis. But def a perd nub!

 

[Smarker]

Hey relicgrubber-thanks. I know barbers are quite rare in Texas. This piece has ground basal regions and the hafted area is quite wide. I know pedernales are common in thx, but do you know of any examples that are worn down so much with basal grinding? I have not found examples to support a perd-at least not yet....

Could be a well used Folsom.
