Clovis peoples

The Clovis peoples were ancient Native Americans who lived around 13,000 years ago, known for creating distinctive stone tools called Clovis points. These tools were primarily used for hunting large animals and are among the earliest widespread cultures in North America. Archaeologists believe they were among the first humans to migrate into the continent after the last Ice Age, playing a key role in early North American history. Their culture marks a significant point in prehistoric archaeology, providing evidence of early human presence and adaptation on the continent.
