Significance Of Spears
In Yellowstone National Park, an area where scientists previously found no sign of humans, scientists found a 10,300-year-old spear. It was evident that the spears they discovered were used to hunt animals and clear fauna. The most important bit about this finding, though, is what it reveals about the human presence. This means there was human existence in such cold weather in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho.
