It's also interesting to speculate from where they got the flint.
Blackwater Draw is a sand dune down to what used to be the water table.
just read an article somewhere that said there’s now a field tool archaeologists can use to pinpoint the source of the flint in minutes.
I don’t know. maybe google archaeologist flint field tool for the article
The word "flint" is probably not always used correctly in regard to Clovis points. They were made from flint, certainly, but also other quartz minerals with conchoidal (shell-shaped) fracture. Those include chalcedony, chert, jasper, agate and obsidian in addition to flint.
There are major flint deposits in Ohio (Flint Ridge) and the colorful Alibates Flint in Texas. Less important deposits are found at many U.S. locations. The other minerals mentioned are abundant in most Western states and are found in many places around the country. The Clovis knappers probably traded for material as well.
Interesting!
