Archaeology shows the Clovis culture vanishing at the Younger Dryas boundary...and they weren’t alone. Around the world, sites show long periods of habitation followed by sudden silence. The common assumption is migration. But what if many of these cultures didn’t relocate at all? The evidence may point instead to abrupt, catastrophic loss...entire populations wiped out rather than moving on. | The Randall Carlson

Ancient DNA Ties Native Americans From Two Continents To Clovis

Clovis Point | Definition, History & Characteristics

A new clovis point made from raw perdnallas flint from Texas | Edward Mosher

Artifact Friday Clovis points are some of the oldest stone tools in the Americas dating back 13,000 to 14,000 years. Their signature flute groove made it easier to attach them to spear shafts and they were tough to make many broke during the process. These incredible pieces tell the story of the first peoples of the New World and some discoveries in South America may point to even older technologies. #ArtifactFriday #ClovisPoint #AncientHistory #MONAH #archaeologytok | Museum Of Native American
