The discovery of this projectile point, made on a Museum excavation in 1927, completely turned around our understanding of the prehistory of North America. The projectile was embedded between the ribs of an early form of bison that lived some 10,500 years ago. The discovery of these items together proved that humans were in North America earlier than previously thought. This artifact can be seen in Prehistoric Journey. The curator of this artifact is Steve Holen, Curator of Archaeology.
