6-H
Of all the Clovis points in the Fenn cache this example is the most
spectacular. It has some of the best edge-to-edge percussion flaking ever
seen on any early spear or knife point of this type ever found. It
effectively illustrates the classic Clovis stone tool manufacturing method
of edge-to-edge percussion flaking known as "outre passe". This
point was so skillfully made that to date no one has been able to
accurately duplicate it.
