Goshen point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Goshen point is a medium sized, lanceolate shaped, Paleo-Indian projectile point with a straight or concave base. It exhibits characteristic fine flaking.[1]
The point was named in 1988 by George C. Frison 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]
Goshen complex
Goshen complex, distinguished by the Goshen point, is similar to the Plainview complex. The Goshen complex, dated about 9,000 to 8,800 BCE, occurred between the Clovis culture and Folsom culture periods.[3]
