Folsom Site

The Folsom Site in New Mexico is a significant archaeological location where ancient Indigenous peoples, around 12,000 years ago, left behind tools and weapons made from stone, especially distinctive Folsom points used for hunting large animals like bison. This site provided crucial evidence that humans were present in North America much earlier than previously thought. Discoveries there have helped scientists better understand early human adaptation, migration, and survival strategies during the Ice Age. Overall, it offers valuable insights into the lives of some of the continent's earliest inhabitants.
