A limited edition PRINT, of a new scientific illustration by artist Michael R. Frank, done with graphite pencil, after personal examination of the original artifact.  First picture show print sold here, and the second picture is original drawing sold separately. 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 Dugway 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. (cast copyright Occpaleo 2014) Nowickie Collection. This limited edition of 20 prints will be signed and dated by the artist, in acid free archival matte professional paper, and ready for framing in 8 X 10 inch frame.  Original point and cast can be seen on this site, in the Paleoindian Cast collection.
