We’ve featured the Clovis points from the Rummels-Maske site before, but here they are from a different perspective - photo taken in 1966!  Rummels-Maske is an early Paleoindian site found on an upland ridge near a tributary of the Cedar River in eastern Iowa. The 20 complete and fragmentary finished Clovis points recovered from the site appear to represent a cache.

Known as the Mistress of Bones and the Lady of the Dead, she is the Queen of Mictlan, the Aztec Underworld, who still presides over today’s Day of the Dead rituals. Sometimes known now as La Huesuda, she brings peace and joy to the spirits of the deceased, and blesses the living who do honor to those who have passed before them.

This week, we’re featuring a Late Woodland corner tang point. The term “corner tang” is given to notched bifacial knives. These tool types are focused in the southern Plains during the Late Archaic and into the Late Woodland, and vary in form from corner notched to notched along the center of one edge, or even corner tanged drills. Iowa is at the far northern reaches of the tanged knife range, and they are not common here! This find is from Benton County, but does not have a provenience. It is from the Keyes Collection, and you can currently see it on display at the Swiss Valley Nature Center in Dubuque County. Thanks to Dan Horgen and Mark Anderson for providing information about this feature!
