A Supposed Fluted Point from Fort Rock Cave, an Error of Identification, and Its Consequences

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  20 January 2017

Abstract

The erroneous identification of a fluted projectile point associated with the earliest radiocarbon date at Fort Rock Cave is noted. Contrary to what has been stated in the literature, no fluted or Folsom-like projectile points have been found associated with early radiocarbon dates at Fort Rock Cave.
