Folsom point
Folsom points are a distinct form of chipped stone projectile points associated with the Folsom Tradition of North America.
The points are bifacially worked and form a symmetrical, arch-like shape with a concave base and a wide, shallow groove running up the front and back. The edges are finely worked. The groove may have served to aid hafting to a wooden spear or arrow or perhaps to improve penetration of the points' targets.
They may have developed from the earlier and larger Clovis points although no intermediate types are known. Folsom points are found widely across North America and are dated to the period between 9500 BC and 8000 BC.
In the Great Plains area, Folsom points were replaced by Plano points of the various Plano cultures.
