CLOVIS POINT
COLBY SITE---NORTH CENTRAL WYOMING
UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING ANTHROPOLOGY DEPARTMENT COLLECTION

   This  Clovis point was found during the excavation in

1975. It was found in bone pile number 2 below a row of

ribs. This point also has the "Colby style base" which is

a base that is more rounded and a concavity that is

becoming almost "notched". If the concave area was more

uniformly flaked all the way to both edges it would look

more like a typical Clovis point. This point was probably
resharpened at least one or more times. It is made of a

dark red Phosphoria Formation chert and measures 2 3/16

inches (56mm) long.
