Clovis Culture

The Clovis Culture is a prehistoric archaeological culture existing near the end of the Last Glacial Period primarily named for distinct bone and stone tools first found near Clovis, New Mexico. Known for Clovis stone points, blades and spear points that were typically worked on both sides, these tools are very distinctive because they were chipped from brittle stones (jasper, chert, obsidian and others), often have a lance-shaped tip and sometimes had very sharp edges. Our collection includes a fine example found near Austin,Texas.
