Clovis (NC-117 a5)

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. 2013.0682a5). It is made out of grey chert and measures 48.2 mm long, 24.0mm wide, and 7mm thick and weighs 9.7 grams. This model was constructed by David Cranford with 53 photos using Agisoft Metashape software.
