Two sides of a beige chipped stone. The stone is subulate, with a peduncle at its base. The number BiEx-23.1863 is inscribed on the right-side face. Below the image is a photographic scale with black and white squares.
Point with peduncle
This point with a peduncle was found in 2017 in the 46N-43W well of the Kruger 2 site’s area 3. This is a variation of the Ste. Anne-Varney points, which rarely feature a peduncle.

Long ochre-coloured altered chipped stone, composed of three fragments. The shape is linear.
Ste. Anne-Varney point
This large Ste. Anne-Varney point is composed of five fragments. The first four fragments represent the mesio-distal part of the point. They were found in 2016 in the 47N-39W well of the Kruger 2 site’s area 3. It was the perseverance of excavator Michael McCoy that led to the discovery of this point base in 2017 in well 48N-39W. The aesthetics of this point is remarkable and testifies to the skill of its maker.

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.
