WHAT IS THE FOLSOM POINT?

A distinctive Paleoindian fluted projectile point with a single flute on each face and fine pressure flaking. Found in association in sites around Folsom, New Mexico from c. 9000–8000 bc (alternately 11,000–10,200 bp), they differ from Clovis points in the length of the flute, which extends over most of the point’s side. Folsom points are smaller, with their widest dimension near the middle rather than towards the base; they are more concave base than Clovis points, and the edges of Folsom points were retouched.
