Elko Corner Notched (1500 B.C.–700 A.D.)

This projectile point fragment is only 15mm long. While photographing this piece I experimented with many different lighting arrangements in order to accentuate the meticulous workmanship in the form of fine pressure flaking–a very impressive skill!

 

I wonder if this point was broken during or after manufacture?

 

*I was also experimenting with background color. I think I like the black better. What do others think?
