Prehistoric Hunting Tools in E. Wenatchee part II

In 1987 the largest Clovis points were accidentally uncovered in E. Wenatchee. Paleo Native Americans used “percussion flaking” to hammer spear points out of agate stone, for example. One is 9.15 inches long. Some of these artifacts can be seen in Wenatchee Valley Museum. Even though this archaeological dig hasn’t been entirely excavated, it was covered with dirt and a cement slab. It’s part of the orchard again. This site yielded 36 of these tools and 12 rods of carved mammoth or mastodon bone. It is the only intact Clovis site discovered in the state of Washington.
