Would have been nice to include some pictures or at least drawing of the points.

Exactly. Would like to see the comparison between the Clovis points and these newly found ones.

Gault Pre-Clovis Artifacts


Clovis Points

In lithic technology terms, the difference is like between a Model T and an indy Car! (Primitive to ultra-sophisticated...)

IMO, if you can accurately replicate three Clovis points in a row -- without breaking one -- you are skilled enough to replicate almost any functional lithic artifact made by humankind...
