SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
An isolated fluted projectile point found in Nipomo (San Luis Obispo County, California) about 30 years ago was recently brought to the attention of the local archaeological community. Made from Monterey chert, the specimen exhibits single flute scars that extend about three quarters of the way up both faces, although it also shows clear evidence of blade and basal reworking. Attributes typical of fluted point technology-including heavy edge grinding/polishing on the lateral edge margins of the base, and a bi-concave basal cross-section-support a Paleoindian origin for the artifact.
