THE
BEST OF THE BEST
INVESTMENT GRADE
Description: St. Louis Style Clovis - We
at Penbrandt Prehistoric Artifacts are both pleased and
excited to be selected to offer for your pleasure the DeBorde
Clovis. One of THE most Exceptional pieces of flint to
surface in the last 35 years. It was found by my good
friend Jack Deborde as a surface find in February of 1990
in Bourbon County, KY in a rough plowed field that had been
turned under in November of 1989. It is my opinion
from a surface examination under a scope that this exceptionally huge
Paleo is made from a highly patinated piece of Sonora
Chert. Other opinions over the years have called it Coshocton
or Fort Payne but I believe Sonora is correct. It measures 4
7/8 inches long and 2 inches wide. It is very thin and
extremely well made. It is fluted approximately 2/3rds
of it's length on both sides (see photos).
There is a burin fracture on one blade edge slightly back from the tip
that is as ancient as the blade. (see photos) Some of this
style of Clovis are believed to have been used in the harvesting of
thatch from substances found on the blades. Make no mistake, this
is a premier artifact that deserves a truly appreciative
collector! It was first published in the "Prehistoric
American", Vol. XXXVII, Number 2, in 2003 on pg 14. It was
next pictured in the "Central States Archaeological Journal",
Vol 55, No.1, in January of 2008. It was again
published in "Ancient Indian Artifacts", Volume 1, by Jim
Bennett in 2008 on pg's 196 & 197. Finally, it was
also pictured in "Extraordinary Fluted Points of the Tennessee
Valley Region" by Ellis E. Whitt in 2010 on pg
44.
This exceptional offering will be shown at limited
engagements only. If you have not examined this exceptional piece
before, arrangements can be made for you to do so. Serious
inquires only.
