Clovis point
Clovis points are the diagnostic projectile point associated with the North American Clovis culture. They date to the Paleo-Indian period around 13,500 years ago. They are named after the town of Clovis, New Mexico, where examples were found in 1929 by local men who eventually encouraged Edgar Billings Howard to visit. In August of 1932 Howard was digging with his UPenn crew at Burnet Cave in the Guadalupe Mountains, NM. Clovis points are often found within the remains of ice age animals.
