CLOVIS POINT
FENN CACHE
FORREST FENN COLLECTION

    This Clovis point is made of Utah agate and has some very nicely done diagonal percussion flaking. It's one of the best examples in this cache that shows a "classic" break pattern that is so familiar in Clovis stone tool technology. The large edge-to-edge percussion flake removals (called "outre passe") sometimes break off the opposite edge from which the flake was struck as can easily be seen on this example.

Clovis point from Fenn cache triple exposed.
