As stunningly beautiful as they are exceedingly rare, this pair
of chipped flint, curved weapon points are fine examples of
Clovis/Clovis related, stone tool technology. Both points use
curved blade engineering to produce maximum damage to prey. The
points, which are based on two typology styles, the Clovis Heart
and the Pentagonal, have already been extensively discussed on
this site. Points are shown both vertically and horizontally to
demonstrate how they would have been mounted on a shaft.
Although both typology styles are found coast to coast in both

points. Since both typology styles are common, we are puzzled
