The Folsom People were prehistoric inhabitants of North America, known for their distinctive stone tools and hunting practices. They lived during the late Pleistocene epoch, around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, primarily in what is now the western United States. Their most notable archaeological site is the Folsom site in New Mexico, where evidence of their hunting of large game, such as the now-extinct mammoth, was discovered. Folsom People are recognized for their unique fluted projectile points, which were used for hunting. These tools demonstrate advanced craftsmanship and an understanding of their environment. The Folsom culture is significant in the study of early human migration and adaptation in North America, providing insights into the lives of early hunter-gatherers.
