Paleo Projectile Point T-Shirt

Description

Embrace the legacy of early human ingenuity with our Fluted Paleo Projectile Point T-shirt. This tee features a highly detailed illustration of a fluted projectile point, showcasing the remarkable stone tool technology of North America’s earliest inhabitants. Known for their distinctive fluted design, these points represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship by the Clovis and Folsom peoples during the Paleo-Indian period.

Fluted projectile points are characterized by their groovelike flaking scars, or “flutes,” created by expert flintknappers who removed flakes from the base of the spear points. These flutes could be singular or multiple, often extending partially or nearly the entire length of the point. The Clovis points, longer and with more convex margins, contrast with the shorter, thinner Folsom points, which have flutes reaching almost the full length. Both types feature abraded basal margins, a testament to their sophisticated construction.

The significance of these points lies not only in their rarity but also in their historical importance. The first fluted points were discovered in the 1920s near Folsom, New Mexico, offering a glimpse into the ancient past when they were found alongside extinct bison remains. Later discoveries near Clovis, New Mexico, further pushed the boundaries of our understanding of early human presence in North America, dating back to the late Pleistocene period.
