Sweet. Love the double flute on the one face. Looks like the flute failed on the other face and was not re-attempted. I'm guessing that is because the point is thin and flat in cross section, which would make attempting another flute nearly impossible. I don't like it as a Redstone, the fluting is wrong. At least in the classic sense Redstones should be fluted at least halfway up on both faces. I believe it was a Clovis point used as a hafted knife and being resharpened mostly in the tip area, resulting in the triangular shape. I am also not understanding the "rebased" idea.

In the Illinois Fluted Point Survey as a re-based Clovis (which, for several reasons, I don't understand).
