Thanks, but no thanks, Hillbilly. I'm not a knapper, but have tried it some and I know how tough and grainy that stuff is. That's one reason I admire nice points made from it so much.
Here's a few more I had around the house and a picture of the other side of that fluted piece.

Hillbilly:
Shannon, that's what I was expecting. Looks like the first side was fluted successfully, and the flake dived when they were fluting the other side. That's really interesting-you can tell from your point what stage of manufacture they were doing the fluting on the Cumberlands-looks similar to the Folsom preforms I've seen pics of. There's not nearly as much known about the Cumberlands as the Folsom and Clovis stuff. I would definitely hang on to that piece.
Auggie:
