FLUTED KNIFE This is the widest fluted point that was found in the Lamb site cache of Clovis points. One ear and a portion of one blade edge has been restored. This Clovis point was identified as a fluted knife from use wear that was observed on both faces near the hafting area and near the tip. The polished areas are identified as a heavy silica phytolith sheen caused from cutting plant fibers. This point is thought to be made from Indiana hornstone and it measures 5 1/4 inches (13.4 cm) long and 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm) wide.
