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.

arrowheads.com has Rhode Island clovis thread. The new england types are not well documented for sure

BTW that's porphorytic rhylolite usually reserved for important pieces

Joshua Hutchins said...

not a clovis point ost likely but of same time period. Maybe a similar bifurcate point

Joshua Hutchins said...
