Killer, thanks for playing

Very nice.

I found this fluted point on a late archaic site on low ground near a creek. No way this was a paleo site. I think it was found by a later culture, brought back to camp and lost. Just a guess.

High Low? It’s a good one

This was found along a creek called the Lake Fork, a branch of the Kaskaskia River. It was prone to flooding until they dug it out deeper for drainage in the late 1800s. It still floods easily every spring. During paleo times I would imagine it was even wetter. This place is only 10-15 mi north of the terminal moraine of the WI glacier. The melt waters coming off the glacier that formed the Kaskaskia would have made this place a swamp until the hypsithermal and the great dry out around 10,000 ybp. Not a good place to be during paleo times. Very few Clovis points found in this area.

Auto correct got me. Should of asked if the point type was a HiLo, sorry about the confusion. It’s nice all the way around has everything going for it.

I’ve said a few times I don’t have any Paleo but maybe I’ve found a couple. Not many fluted varieties. Mostly Late Paleo

Here's a odd one I found in Central Georgia. I was told some years ago that it's a Union Side Notch. I don't know if this is considered a flute but if it is or isn't it's odd.

it’s either a big impact fracture or a rework from Paleo to Archaic. It’s nice though. Like the material

Some nice quality points posted thanks for playing along. I like doing the group posts. I’ve got another one planned coming up. You will have to come back and check it out everyone 😃

Gar, that fluted one that is stemmed what’s the story with that? It’s like your flounder point isn’t it. Flutes and stems aren’t usually associated.
