Abstract

This report documents a Clovis-like fluted point found in shallow waters of Great Egg Harbor Bay, a backbarrier lagoon along the Jersey shore. The artifact has a complicated life history and is significant by enriching the vastly incomplete Paleoindian data base from New Jersey's Outer Coastal Plain. Despite the extraordinary circumstances of its discovery, this fluted point calls new attention to the potential of nearshore and estuarine settings in our search for traces of the First Americans in eastern North America.
