Folsom points
Folsom points are a type of ancient stone spear or arrowhead tool created by indigenous peoples in North America, especially around 10,000 to 11,000 years ago during the Folsom tradition. They are characterized by their distinctive flute or channel on each side, which made them easier to haft onto a spear or arrow shaft. These points are usually made from high-quality stone like obsidian or flint and demonstrate advanced skill in shaping tools. Folsom points are significant artifacts that provide insights into early hunting practices and technological innovation during the Paleoindian period.
