The 13,900-Year-Old Mastodon Rib Found With A Bone Point Still Inside — And The CT Scan That Put Hunters Before Clovis
Osseous projectile points — projectile tips made from bone or ivory or antler — have a global distribution in the archaeological record.
They were made in Upper Paleolithic Europe, in the Arctic by people adapted to hunting marine mammals, in Mesoamerica and South America by early post-Clovis peoples, and in North America by various groups across different time periods.
The specific forms of these points — the angles, the proportions, the cross-sectional shape — vary between traditions and provide a basis for technological comparison.
The Manis point, as reconstructed from its fragments, was compared in the 2023 paper against other known osseous points from North America and from relevant global contexts.
