Just a handful of Clovis-related bases. All from a single collection except one piece.

Kentucky, by nature of the river drainages, is at a bit of a hypothetical cross roads of the Plains, Southeast, The Great Lakes and Northeast/Eastern Clovis styles. You see the range of named varieties (Debert, Ross, St Louis etc.) as well as related types like Gainey & Redstone.

Thick points to thin points, deep flutes to "skin only" shallow flutes, wide flutes to narrow multiple flutes, deeply indented bases to shallow/flat bases, flared pointed ears, rounded ears, no ears, overshot percussion flakes to very detailed pressure flakes, etc.
