Thanks Min...but these are for sale and I already have a friend who works the 'Clovis style' of stone tools. It just might be his site you found.

Just going for the style, Kich. Although there are plenty of museum quality pieces online if you want to look.

Contrast that with the Levallois technique of the Neanderthal.

Ahhh then that is the style that we find here in Australia amongst the Aboriginal middens. Levallois... OK

The Clovis style does produce beautiful pieces.

More than you ever needed to know about Levallois stone technology!

Levallois artifacts are flaked stone tools described by archaeologists as ‘prepared cores’ i.e. the stone core is shaped in a deliberate manner such that only after such specialised preparation could a prehistoric flintknapper remove a distinctive ‘Levallois flake’. Levallois flakes have long been suspected by researchers to be intentionally sought by prehistoric hominins for supposedly unique, standardised size and shape properties. However, such propositions were regarded as controversial by some, and in recent decades some researchers questioned whether Levallois tool production involved conscious, structured planning that resulted in predetermined, engineered products.
