That is why the Clovis People used socketed spears with a short shaft on top. Drive the point in then reload the shaft with another point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorizBadinov Posted December 11, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Its a beautiful design. Several years ago we had some major flooding up in the hills where I kick around. It had cut some rivulets 10 or 12 feet deep and 4 to 6 feet wide so I walked them with a friend. She found a half spear point laying right on top of the sand in the bottom of the rivulet. Makes one wonder what the story was of how it got there and when. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catastrophic flooding from the 3 largest glacier lakes probably wiped out most of the evidence of the early Clovis Culture. Clam boats along the New Jersey Shore dredge up the points once in a while along with mammoth bones. Tony Bonofiglio and I found a intact thermokarst basin that wasn't grown over by a cedar swamp but we only found a few chips and a flute. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
