This Survey contains 1050 recorded Paleoindian points and presented the author with numerous problems and situations in obtaining and analyzing points for inclusion in the Survey's database. However, the advantages to archaeology far outweigh the problems.

As a companion book, the entire McCary Fluted Point book is also available from the same publisher. Topics: Clovis records, Clovis point analyzing and classification, defining Clovis, chronology, distributions, Clovis culture, measurements, styles and variations, fluting types, stone materials, creating databases, point labeling, recording apparatus, pre-Clovis examples, Clovis climates, flaking attributes, Clovis comet, Cactus Hill and before Clovis, South American influences, true Clovis, mammoth extinctions, Big Games tradition, position in prehistory, fluted point survey methods, point verification methods, paleo-environments, research methods and equipment, collectability, curation principles, and Clovis populations.
