double fluted what is it?

[traderoftreasures]

Found this on private property. I know it's a point. What i don't know is if it's paleo or earlier? I have found a double fluted clovis near by, and it was for sure 10000 to 13000 years old. But this piece, i don't know yet. Does it have a name? Age?

I would consider those basal thinning flakes and not flutes... Fluting was intended to thin the middle of the point. Those are more directed to from the side and no evidence of a preparation platform is found...
