Paleoindian Period

The Paleoindian tradition is best known from assemblages of flaked stone spears and highly mobile hunting and gathering practices. They are also well known for hunting large mega-fauna (Mammoth, Bison, Giant Sloth, etc.). The Paleoindian Period can be broken down into early (11,500 B.C.- 10,800 B.C.), middle (10,800 B.C.- 9,800 B.C.), and late (9,800 B.C. -7,000 B.C.).
