Texas Fluted Paleo. Any ideas?

[Jbenson]

By ideas what this was? It’s fluted but well worn. It almost looks like there is an impact scar??

Looks like a Barber point. What you're calling flutes are thinning strikes to the base imo. Nice Lil used up Paleo!

Yes, I'd agree with paleo, also it probably started out life much longer and has been resharpened.

Thanks

 

[dognose]

is the base and / or sides ground?

 

[Jbenson]

Yes-but lightly

Good find! The odd point is probably from rework, like Smokey said.

I believe it to be deliberately made that way - a style (Type).
Sorry, I don't have any SW cultures' point typology names, but there are ways to find examples of them.
