They were using flint as well . So , so when they were making these points , they were just doing it in a different way , they were doing it in a different way .

There's one , there's , yeah , there's one right there . The fulsome point . So what fins guys realize is that the hurdle for convincing the world the scientific hurdle for convincing the world that humans had been present in America at the time , everybody thought Indians had only been in America for maybe a couple of 1000 years before Europeans got here .
So the ears , yeah , the ears . So you have a , a triangular point and it has two ears coming out and you attach , you use the ears as a place to attach the raw hide . And so this was metal .
And there are some of them caches of some of these blades of that size that indicate they were never used . They basically were kind of ceremonial objects . I mean , I kind of argue in the book , I mean , it's pretty much speculation because we don't really know a huge amount about these people .
And one of the things that's really pretty fascinating about these Clovis people , about Clovis of the beautiful and it's , and they were all over America . By the way , there are more of their points discovered in the Southeast and in New England than there are in many places in the West . So this is not just a Western phenomenon , this just happens to be where we discovered them first , but they were all over America .
