EXCELLENT PLAINVIEW POINT
11,250-9,500 B.P.
Butler Co, Missouri
This is a very nice example of the early Archaic Plainview point, fashioned from an attractively speckled beige chert. It is fluted, with high quality flaking, but most interestingly the lower lateral edges and basal concavity are heavily smoothed where a binding would have attached the point to a spear or arrow shaft. It measures 4 x 1 3/16 inches and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
Provenance: George Robertson Collection
