Flaked Stone Materials from the Skyrocket Site
Illustration of Fluted Projectile Point from
Paleo-Archaic Assemblage - ca. 9000 b.p.
10 February 1998
First flute: Truncates
lateral first series of thinning/shaping flake scars. Left lateral side
steepened over first series. Possible remnant of ventral or
dorsal face on right lateral portion.
Second flute: Second series of lateral thinning/shaping flake scars invasive of
lateral edges of flute scar as evidenced by filials
on flake terminations.
With exception of most proximal edges of basal tangs, lateral margins &
basal concavity are polished. Distal extent of polished
margins truncated by use-damage.
