There is a variation on the Clovis point that is called a Cumberland point. It is fluted like a Clovis, but is flared at the base. I have four nice examples with most around 5 inches long. They look like this:

Wow, as a life long collector I am jealous... I am in the southwest and should have found a few Clovis points by now but have not. Mine are all from more recent cultures. One thing I do have I can take pride in is a whole arrow with the shaft, fletching, and sinew bindings all intact. Looks almost new except for the natural patina from aging. Found it buried way back in a dry desert cave. It is Paiute in origin.
