Study Reveals Clovis Hunters Resharpened Spears More Than Cumberland

A study of nearly 500 Ice Age spear points from Tennessee shows Clovis hunters frequently resharpened their projectile points, unlike Cumberland people who discarded points earlier. This difference reflects evolving resource management, with Clovis groups adapting through greater environmental knowledge over generations. The findings highlight distinct cultural approaches to tool use during the late Ice Age.
