Paleo point

[Freemindedclark]

I'm not sure if this is a early Clovis or a Plano. There is just the slightest hint of a flute. From what I have been able to find out some the early Clovis points had minimal or in some cases no flute. I found this in southwest Iowa.

Cool find. I have so much to learn. I didn't think the flaking was correct for clovis. I'm only trying to learn not even saying it's not clovis. I'm looking up plano now.
Would anyone say it is a well worn point?
Thanks 4 posting.

I'm thinking that this area has had occupation spanning several different era's. I have found a couple other points a large axe head and several scrapers in this area. There are also a lot of artifacts found in the river just down the hill. I need to get a better understanding of how natives selected where to build camps and pull up some old maps and try to dial in on the best spot to focus on.

That is a good observation my friend.

Which is what led me to draw my conclusion on the point
