Clovis points have been found northwest of Dallas, Texas. Clovis points, along with other stone and bone/ivory tools, have been identified in over two dozen artifact caches. These caches range from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and Northwest United States.

Where are most Clovis points found?

Hundreds of Clovis points have been found across Ohio, but most of them were found in the major river valleys of central Ohio with very few in the southeastern corner of the state.

How do I know if I have Clovis points?

Clovis points are wholly distinctive. Chipped from jasper, chert, obsidian and other fine, brittle stone, they have a lance-shaped tip and (sometimes) wickedly sharp edges. Extending from the base toward the tips are shallow, concave grooves called “flutes” that may have helped the points be inserted into spear shafts.
