Clovis Man: America’s First Culture
Lecture no. 3 from the course: Ancient Civilizations of North America
Taught by Professor Edwin Barnhart | 38 min | Categories: History
Explore Clovis, the very first American culture, which is identified by the Clovis point, a specialized megafauna-hunting tool that became the most widespread technology in the paleo-world. The Clovis populated the Americas from coast to coast, from Alaska to South America. Although the culture became extinct around 12,000 years ago, you will see how some of the Clovis people evolved into the last Paleo-Indians, the Folsom.
