The clovis point was made when the right stone was their and they had enough time to make these points. The chance of breaking the point while flutting the point was great. Some of the paleo people did not make them at all but the first people came over 18,500 years ago. Giving enough time for the needle to be invented and learn how to live on the ice and haveing a viable population in the middle of South America 12,500 years ago. The comet slaming into the cotinental ice sheet 12,500 years ago ended the ice age and all or most of the people on the east side of north america. These people did not come from the west and did not bring the clovis point with them that had been made to look like their bone points. if you take the time to read my book you will see that the clovis points were made for a reason and not all people in a band that made clovis points used them to hunt with.
