Clovis culture, early North American people (c.10,000-9000 B.C.)
Known through artifacts first unearthed in the early 1930s near
Clovis, N.Mex. Their chipped flint points (Clovis points) and other
stone tools were found with remains of large mammals, e.g., extinct
mammoths. Clovis groups are the earliest definitively dated human
populations in the Americas.
Mike's Note: I've seen these flint points and they are rather
sophisticated, indicating that they are only a step in technological
development.
