clewis:
It looks like a plainview, this article may shed some light or further confuse you  :laugh:
Pay particular attention to page 7 of 12 figure a.

AncientTech:
Clewis may have a better answer.  It may be Plainview, of which I know little.  I would have to guess paleo, though others probably know better. 

Stoker:
Thanks for the links.. Take me a while to sift through.. Mullet you may be correct on the patina makes sense to me.. It does look like a preform.. AncientTech  Good advice on the giving it to a young person.. He is my wife's oldest son's boy.. Good kid but a kid.. I beleive that the point should stay in the family..
Thanks Leroy

caveman2533:
Agreed it looks clovis and is likely KRF, to me and the white is patina. You will often see that on artifacts that patina this way the white side was likely the side exposed to the sun form thousands of years.

Zuma:
I tend to agree with Eddie and Steve.  ???
Looks like someone long, long ago worked hard to thin that base.
There seems to be a hinge fracture there also. That is a Clovis trade mark.
Great patina.
The artifact does not have to be from Alberta, since you said the
father-in-law visited the northern regions of the US. Check for
a ground base and lower edges. Take to a professional.$$$$$$
Good luck, Zuma
It could be put in trust for a youngster or I could pm my address. >:D
