Vintage Spears
Other human artifacts have been discovered in the wake of these melting ice patches. For example, a 10,300-year-old spear was discovered in Yellowstone, a region where no previous evidence of human presence had been found. If you didn’t know, that’s an ancient age by human standards. Its the dawn of written history, almost!
This spear, as expected, was used for hunting and killing the fauna of the time. There are plenty of bison and elk to be found in Yellowstone and the occasional wolf. This discovery’s most significant aspect concerns what it reveals about human activity. This frigid climate in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana was inhabited by people.
