Best Answer

"Clovis points" are prime examples of stone-tipped spears. Specimens made from chert, flint, jasper, and chalcedony have been found. They date back to the Paleo-Indian period about 13,500 years ago. The replaceable spear tip had a Flute, or groove, which allowed it to be fastened (hafted) to the spear's shaft. That way, only the tips needed to be carried when travel to new hunting grounds became necessary. "Folsom points" are "newer".
