Clovis culture

The Clovis culture refers to a prehistoric group of people in North America who existed around 13,000 years ago. They are best known for their distinctive stone tools, particularly the Clovis point, which is a sharp spear tip used for hunting. The Clovis people were likely among the first to inhabit North America after the last Ice Age, following herds of large animals like mammoths. Their culture provides insight into early human life, migration patterns, and the adaptation to new environments during a time of significant climate change.
