Folsom culture

Folsom culture refers to a prehistoric Native American culture that existed around 12,000 years ago in North America, primarily in the Great Plains region. Characterized by advanced stone tool technology, the Folsom people are best known for their distinctive Folsom points—fluted stone spearheads used for hunting large game, particularly bison. This culture is significant for providing evidence of early human hunters adapting to their environment, showcasing their skills in hunting and tool-making during the late Pleistocene era. The discovery of Folsom sites has greatly contributed to our understanding of early human life and migration in North America.
