Goshen point
The Goshen point is a medium sized, lanceolate shaped, Paleo-Indian projectile point with a straight or concave base. The point was named in 1988 by George C. Fraison after the discovery of specimens at the Hell Gap complex site in southeastern Wyoming. The projectile is so-named after the nearby Goshen Country.[1][2] It exhibits characteristic fine flaking.[1]
Goshen complex, distinguished by the Goshen point, is similar to the Plainview complex. The Goshen complex, dated about 9,000 to 8,800 B.C., occurred between the Clovis and Folsom cultural periods.[3]
