Clovis points are distinctive spearheads crafted by ancient Native American cultures, particularly prevalent during the Paleo-Indian period around 13,500 to 12,800 years ago. Named after the town of Clovis, New Mexico, where they were first discovered in the 1920s, these points are characterized by their unique fluted design, which facilitated their attachment to wooden shafts.

Crafted from high-quality stone such as chert or flint, Clovis points showcase remarkable craftsmanship and were likely used for hunting large game like mammoths and mastodons. Their discovery revolutionized understanding of early human migration patterns in the Americas, providing evidence of ancient peoples’ advanced tool-making abilities and their adaptation to diverse environments during the Pleistocene era.

Today, Clovis points remain significant artifacts, offering valuable insights into the lifestyles and technologies of some of the earliest inhabitants of North America.
