Small clovis-like point from Concord

I never showed this one:


Found at the wastewater facility cornfield - it was snowy and only a narrow strip of mud was melted out along the top of each corn row. I bent down to investigate what turned out to be a goose poopy, and while my head was close to ground I spotted this little point. I should not have found it otherwise.

    Peter -
    Definitely not a Clovis (and some folks are now claiming that there is no Clovis in the Northeast; what we have are Clovis contemporaries like Barnes and Gainey). This one appears to be a Late Paleo point like a Plainview.
