Clovis (NC-117 a3)

Clovis points are lanceolate shaped projectile points with concave bases that often have pronounced flutes, or channel flakes, removed from one or both sides. Clovis dates to the Early Paleoindian period (13,300-12,700 BP) and are among the oldest artifacts found in North America. While Clovis points were long thought to represent the earliest human presence in North America, a growing body of evidence from multiple sites points to earlier "Pre-Clovis" occupations. This Clovis was found in Harnett County, NC (31HT201) and donated to the Office of State Archaeology (Accession no. 2013.0682a3). It is made out of grey metavolcanic stone and measures 53.6 mm long, 23mm wide, and 6.5mm thick and weighs 11.3 grams. This model was constructed by David Cranford with 52 photos using Agisoft Metashape software.
