Murray Springs Clovis site by blueberry1222

Murray Springs Clovis site

This is an area of Arizona that I've been wanting to visit for quite a long while. Just standing where the Paleoindians once stood was something that I've been wanting to experience.

Murray Springs Clovis Site was created by nomadic hunters who stayed in the area to pursue large game, such as mammoth, horses, and bison. Archaeologists have named these early hunters Paleoindians, and they hunted with "Clovis points." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis_point

The Murray Springs Site is one of the most important and well documented early human sites in North America. The site has yielded the most evidence of Clovis stone tool manufacture in the entire Southwestern United States, and the evidence of large mammal butchering and use at the site is unsurpassed. The Murray Springs Site was created between 12,000 and 13,000 years ago, in the late Pleistocene era, by a small group of Clovis people, who camped nearby, and who probably hunted large animals as they came down to water in the arroyo.
What an experience and a marvelous shot!
