Here is a Warrick that has some unexpected flutes showing. Post yours.

That is a killer point! WNice thread idea, let me take a couple pics and I'll be back. I'm thinking that's a paleo reworked by another culture.

Here's a couple of mine. The first one is fluted on one side, it's kinda thick. The second one is paper thin and fluted on both sides to the tip.

here's the other side, strange patina along the fluted area. I checed into warricks, early archaic 9000 bc, have you heard or seen of any other fluted examples? That may be an important piece, unusual secondary notches too.

Fun post. Ok here is what i think.. is a fluted scraper. I do not know what it is to be honest. Found on the river on a collapsed bank in Tennessee that does produce fluted materials. It has a little hole in it as well. I have never seen one like it before. Any ideas?

Here's a nice Flute. lol

(though not the kind you were looking for)

This point here, which I believe to be a Vosburg, does have two distinct flutes or thinning flakes off of one side. They start at the base and run to almost midway of the point.

nice point ,the secondary notches look like the dreaded wired to a board notches,saw a beautiful clovis once that was notched so it would stay wired to a board

Well, the title does say " odd-ball flutes" I guess that would inclued my two here , as I don't believe them to be paleo .







This hematite adze has a "flute" on one side , and makes for a "perfect" hollow-ground chisel . The maker was either a " Odd-Ball" ,who didn'tknow you don't knap hematite like other stone ,. or a real master of his kraft .






Now , this one , I had a hope for a short time that it was Paleo . Anyway I've written this fluting off as "normal" thinning of the tool ,... if that makes any sense ? I'll just have to live with the fact that it's just a plain 'O plains-knife .


Lostlake that is one fine point ,........ Blindpig

just because they originate from the base doesn`t make them flutes. often times they are basal-thinning flakes.
