First Clovis!

[Arrow1492]

Broken but still a piece of history. From Illinois. Probably broke during manufacturing. Let’s see your Clovis pieces. Any from Illinois?

I've found a couple. One whole, one fragment. The whole one came from Piatt Co. IL, which is between Champaign and Decatur. It's a midget, sharpened down, but it's whole and it's MINE! I think the material is Sonora flint from KY but not positive. Gary

Hunt the fields with the highest ridges. Find the highest farm ground in your county. In paleo times the glacier was still receding and it was wet, wet, wet. Paleo sites are rare. You just have to find a random point they lost. High ground is the key. Gary
