Two sides of an ochre-coloured, lance-shaped chipped stone. The base is convex and the point is flat. The number BkEu-8 2392 is inscribed on the bottom and on one of the faces. At the bottom of the image, there is a graphic scale of 0 to 5 centimetres.
Point
This Ste. Anne-Varney point base was found in 2011 in the 80N-21W well on the Gaudreau site’s upper terrace. Its end seems to show the beginning of a drill bit. It could be a point that was recycled into a drill, or simply a broken drill with most of the bit missing. It is difficult to ascertain either of these options, but the base has all the attributes of a point.

Two sides of an ochre-coloured, lance-shaped chipped stone broken into three pieces. The base has lateral notches. The number BkEu-8.665- 2346-2517 is inscribed on the bottom. At the bottom of the image, there is a graphic scale of 0 to 5 centimetres.
Point
This Ste. Anne-Varney point was found in three fragments on the Gaudreau site’s upper terrace. The base, which has slight lateral notches, was found in 2010 in the site's 77N-21W well (8.665). The other two fragments of the point were discovered in the summer of 2011 at a distance of at least 1.5 metres from each other. Fragment 8.2346 was found in well 79N-21W and fragment 8.2517, in well 81N-20W.

Two sides of an ochre-coloured, lance-shaped chipped stone, with the base broken at an oblique angle. The number BkEu-8.681 is inscribed on the bottom. At the bottom of the image, there is a graphic scale of 0 to 5 centimetres.
Biface
This biface was found in 2010 in the 77N-21W well on the Gaudreau site’s upper terrace. This biface, which may have been broken while it was being crafted, was likely destined to be used to cut and slice like a knife, rather than end up shaped into a point.

Two faces of a long, narrow chipped stone with rounded edges. It is ochre in colour. The number BkEu-8.2239 is inscribed on the bottom. At the bottom of the image, there is a graphic scale of 0 to 5 centimetres.
Drill
This drill bit was found in 2011 in the 77N-20W well on the Gaudreau site’s upper terrace. The medial fragment of the drill is well chipped and its lozenge-shaped section is typical of this category of tools. The proximal part under the broadened section has slightly blunted edges, which confirms it was fitted to a shaft.

Two sides of a rectangular ochre-coloured chipped stone. The base is slightly concave and the top is slightly oblique. The number BkEu-8.2243 is inscribed on the bottom. At the bottom of the image, there is a graphic scale of 0 to 5 centimetres.
Point
This Ste. Anne-Varney point was found in 2011 in the 77N-20W well on the Gaudreau site’s upper terrace. The discovery of this base on July 16 enabled archaeologists to confirm for the very first time the presence of a human Palaeoindian settlement on the St. Francis River watershed.

Point
This Ste. Anne-Varney point base was found in 2011 in the 78N-21W well on the Gaudreau site’s upper terrace. It is one of the beautiful specimens of Ste. Anne–Varney points, with its straight, slightly concave base, two thinned edges, and blade with parallel retouching on the contour.

Fluted points from the Clovis culture in North America have various names to reflect regional changes. The Michaud-Neponset point is a variant of the fluted points that differs from the original Clovis type by the length of the flutes, the concave base and a slight inflection of the sides near the base.

Lance-shape points with parallel retouching were developed in the Early Palaeoindian period in the American West, of which the Agate Basin type is oldest from technological tradition associated with the Plano culture. The Agate Basin type was a contemporary of the fluted points of the Folsom culture.
