A hand drawn scientific illustration of a paleoindian Clovis point artifact. This spectacular example of a Clovis point was sent to Occpaleo for molding and casting, as a generous loan from the Richard Nowicki Collection. It measures 4 and 7/8th long and 1 and a half inches wide, making it a large example of the type. It was found in 1986 by an infantryman during exercises at the Dugaway Proving Grounds military base in Utah. It was found in two pieces, which were able to be perfectly refit. This point is an excellent example of Clovis Paleoindian flintknapping strategy, showing remnants of the "outrepasse" overshot flaking used in the making of this type around 13,000 years ago. The most impressive attribute of this point is the fluting, in this case covering half the point on one side and over half the point on the other. An average Clovis flute covers about one third of the point and is more narrow, showing that this point was made with great skill. This point was examined by several Paleoindian archaeologists and found to be a great example of the type, so that the cast can be included in the Clovis collections at the Smithsonian Institution.  The drawing was done by hand in pencil by Michael Frank in 2024, and is signed and dated as a one of a kind by the artist.  It was done on archival acid free art paper of 9 X 12 inches, so suitable to be cropped for framing in 8 X 10/11 inch frame.
