(Note:  Channel flake #2 was missing from the line up.  Since it was undercut by channel flake #3, the missing channel flake does not affect the actual channel flake scar total.  Still, I apologize for missing channel flake #2.)

AncientTech:
I just added the cleanup photos.   

mullet:
It would be better with 20 more, detailed, photo's. ::)

AncientTech:
Also, here is another view after coast to coast removal:



In an umbrella technology, the traits are multi-faceted, based upon application.  The constellations of traits cannot be oversimplified, as with some other technologies.  Plus, the constellations of traits should also concur with the organic trail of tools, that is just as important as flakes, and flake scars.  This is why I am quite clear about the tool that I have used.  It will give the flake scar gurus something to think about... 

Again, I apologize for not having more photos.

Edit:  I am clear about the tool that I have used

caveman2533:
 Your flake scars particularly at the initiation point are unlike anything I have ever seen on the flakes I have see from the archeological record, Find me some that are like what you are doing and you may have something. Also does this point fall within the parameters of the avg. Clovis point, It looks to be exceptionally thick.
