AncientTech:
Here are some El Jobo points.  Look at the grain of the stone:

It is nothing like the type of stone, and flaking, that normally characterize fluted fishtails.

caveman2533:
Looks like a good grade of quartzite. Nice material.

Zuma:
One big problem in the dating of Clovis is the new haranging
about it >:(  --so many say the Clovis era only lasted 300 years.
I just don't buy that. I am sure it lasted longer.
Now I have mixed feelings about C14 dating   :-\ but if you look at
Tony's chart the era spans 5 THOUSAND years. ???
And if you consider El Jobo as actually the same folks that just
morphed their technology into Clovis technoligies add another
 1,200years.
