The Clovis culture refers to a prehistoric Native American culture that existed around 13,000 years ago in North America. It is characterized by distinctive stone tools, particularly the Clovis point, a type of spearhead used for hunting large game like mammoths and bison. The culture is named after the town of Clovis, New Mexico, where these tools were first discovered. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Clovis people were among the earliest inhabitants of North America. They were nomadic hunter-gatherers, relying on their advanced tool-making skills to thrive in diverse environments. The Clovis culture is significant for understanding the migration and adaptation of early humans in the Americas.
