Paleoindians were present in North America by the end of the last Ice Age. They quickly spread into Central and South America. The best known and earliest Paleoindian culture is called Clovis, named after a town in New Mexico where, in 1932, Clovis artifacts were discovered in Pleistocene sediments. The most diagnostic artifact is the Clovis point, a well-made, lanceolate (or willow leaf shaped) spear point with flutes for “hafting” or securing the point onto a bone or wood shaft. Flutes are shallow channels on one or both faces of the point, produced by removing long, thin flakes that extend from the base part way up the blade. Clovis points were components of a sophisticated weapon complex consisting of a multi-piece dart assembly. A throwing stick or “atlatl” was used to increase the force with which the dart could be hurled.
Clovis points are found in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Many Clovis sites also contain the remains of large Ice Age mammals, including mammoths and mastodons. Clovis sites are radiocarbon dated between 1
