Truly exceptional 3 3/8" Pinto Basin found in Inyo County California near Bishop by L. L. Valdavia. Ex. Michael Hough collection. Made from gray sugar quartz obsidian. Pictured in Hothem's Paleo Indian Artifacts page 121. This is a superb example of the Pinto Basin point type. Beautifully flaked and symmetrical. Pinto Basin points are thought to be the descendents of the Windust point.
