Cataloged
Item: 243-2010
Type: Clovis Atlatl Dart Point
Material: Gorgeous honey, amber, and rootbeer
semi translucent moss agate
Size: 2-7/16" Long x 1" Wide.
Grade: G-9 Quality This specimen was made
using bifacial collateral
pressure flaking resulting in weak median ridges followed by a long
narrow flute on the ventral face and short multiple flutes on the dorsal
face. A remnant fluting nipple is present where the maker chose not to
flute again, instead heavily abraded and ground to a near polish not
only in the basal margin concavity, but also along the lateral stem
edges. The patina is heavy with abundant wind blown and possibly river,
creek, or lake bed polish giving a rich waxy devitrified luster. The tip
is interesting as it appears to have been anciently re-sharpened into
distinctive robust nipple used for bone tool working. Overall condition
is excellent.
Provenance: Found in Colorado Co, TX by John
Davidson x Winston Ellison.
