gravel clovis

[1442]

This thing gave me fits fluting it
The second side flute went abou 3/8" and I wound up flaking that whole side off to try again.
Started out as a piece of gravel that I skint and cooked the biface.

Looks good!  I have lost inches after several times trying to reset and flute. Some rock just refuses to go long.

Thanks, I gotta put the blame on the fluter. The rock was just killer and flaked really good.
I have a few process pics I'll post later when I have more time

second side flute

that flute failed so I reflaked the whole side, reset the nipple and drew the outline where I predicted the flute to go.
It followed the lines pretty good which wasn't much but this thing is super thin at this point and I feel lucky to get this much flute on it.

here's the other side after all the flute repairs and the finished point again

That's one of my favorite pieces of gravel I ever worked.
