fluted means there is a flat spot carved out on the center, bottom sides of a point, which is common practice on a clovis. I wish I had an example but I havent been fortunate enough to find one yet . Maybe someone else on here will be kind enough to post an example.

Here is a fluted Clovis. In my humble opinion Fluting is just a nice word for a big flake or flakes removed from base to make halfting easier.

 

[am-ark]

Thanks quito. Great point also!

Nice Dalton piece. For the record, late Daltons are also commonly "fluted".
