RETURN TO PREVIOUS PAGE

     This Clovis point was found by Frank and Alice Ester green in the1950's in the vicinity of the Dietz Clovis site near Alkali Lake. A trace element analysis was done on this point and it was determined that the Obsidian source was Glass Butte, Oregon.    This Clovis point has "hafting abrasion scratches" in the basal hafting area. The side with the largest channel flake has the most abrasion. The largest channel flake measures 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) long and 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) wide.    This Clovis point is made of semi-translucent black Obsidian and it measures 3 3/8 inches (8.5 cm) long.
