The Clovis Culture is a prehistoric Native American culture that first appears about 13,500 years ago. The Clovis people are known as Paleo-Indians. They were skilled hunters of huge animals, especially ice age mammouths. The points of their weapons were made from fine grain rock that came from widely separated outcrops which they fashioned into fluted projectile points. Length between 1.5 and 5 inches long and they were mounted in wooden shafts
The clovis people used various sharpened rocks as points for their tools. These became known as clovis points and generally consisted of stones or bones.
Clovis points reveal that the Clovis people were skilled hunters who used sophisticated stone tool technology. The presence of Clovis points across North America suggests that the Clovis people were highly mobile and capable of adapting to different environments. The points are also evidence of a complex and developed culture with a strong emphasis on hunting big game animals.

Folsom and Clovis points are both types of prehistoric stone tools associated with early human cultures in North America, but they differ in design and period. Clovis points, dating back around 13,000 years, are characterized by their distinctive fluted shape and were primarily used for hunting large game. In contrast, Folsom points, appearing around 10,000 years ago, have a more refined design with narrower and deeper flutes, suited for hunting smaller game. The differences in their morphology reflect adaptations to changing environments and prey availability.
One difference is that the Plano technology is known for its simple and unifacial projectile points, while Clovis and Folsom technologies are characterized by more complex and bifacial points. Additionally, Clovis and Folsom points are typically associated with the Paleoindian period, while Plano points are found in later archaeological contexts.
The Clovis people used hand-made tools during the Paleo-Indian period, which is estimated to have lasted from around 13,200 to 12,900 years ago. These tools, including distinctive fluted projectile points, were primarily used for hunting.
