- Lot Description
Native American, United States, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky & South Dakota, Paleoindian Period, ca. 13,500 to 10,000 BP (11500 BCE) A fabulous collection of 5 stone Clovis projectile points modified by later cultures! The Clovis projectile point is probably the most famous known point in human prehistory, and the style is from the oldest identifiable continent-wide culture in the Americas. These five projectile points appear to be later types that were re-worked from Clovis points. From the top, left to right is a Dalton point, a Pelican point, a Bakers Creek, a Goshen, and a Benton. A wonderful display of different types! Size of case: 8" L x 5.8" W x 1.375" H (20.3 cm x 14.7 cm x 3.5 cm); largest point: 2.75" L x 1" W (7 cm x 2.5 cm)
The Clovis people lived in small groups, probably comprised of family members, and hunted mammoths, mastodons, giant bison, camels, and horses at the end of the last Ice Age. Archaeologists have found massive kill sites with the remains of points like these, demonstrating their success. Clovis projectile points like this one were lightweight and portable, suited to the nomadic lifestyle of the Clovis people. Although today there is strong evidence that the Clovis people were not the first to reach the New World, they do represent the earliest widespread culture on the continent.
