USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Paleoindian cultures were nomadic, meaning they traveled from place to place rather than staying settled. From the variety of animal bones we find in ancient campsites, it seems that they were mostly hunter-gatherer societies of no more than 20 to 50 people each who followed food sources.

Detailed explanation-2: -Archaeologists believe that the earliest Paleoindian people gathered wild plants and hunted now-extinct big-game species, known as megafauna. Megafauna included such ice-age animals as the mammoth, mastodon, camel, horse and bison.

Detailed explanation-3: -The artifacts generally consist of hunting tools such as stone spear points, scrapers, and flakes of stone produced in the production or repair of spear points and other tools. It is also likely that Paleoindian people made a variety of wooden and bone tools that have not survived for archaeologists to discover.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Paleolithic Period is an ancient cultural stage of human technological development, characterized by the creation and use of rudimentary chipped stone tools.
