Kill point and butchering site used by Paleo-Indians of the Folsom culture. This is the model site used to distinguish this culture. Twenty-three bison of an extinct species were killed and butchered here during the Late Pleistocene, between 9000 and 8000 B.C. The trademarks of these peoples were distinct weaponized knapped stones now known as Folsom Points. Discoveries here revealed that humans colonized the Americas much sooner than initially thought by European archaeologists, and caused considerable debate.
