Absolute FILTH!!
In my area of Indiana, and when I lived in Missouri, the klunk type point is a point made on a large flake. The large flake area is often smooth in most of the area with chipping around the edge to shape and give it a sharp point.
I have found a few of this type of point.
the term impact fracture may or may not have been actually caused by an impact. It could have been, but could also have been caused by using the blade as a tool which could have been twisted and torqued in a way to snap off a large flake. Its the term used for this type of flaking on a projectile point.
the image shows flaking on the side with the large flake which would most likely had been completed prior to the fracture. A klunk point most often has the entire side of the point a large flake.
Of course this is from an image, I could be wrong, but thats my view. Happy 4th.
