Ancient Canadian Folsom Point Story Aids First People Quest
Ion Jenness of the National Museum notes that Canadian Folsom point finds over years spark hope to piece together ten thousand years of the Dominion’s earliest inhabitants. The points date back ten to twenty thousand years in North America and were likely carried east from the plains as ice retreated. Folsom finds mostly on prairies indicate ancient migrations from Asia via Alaska. Without bone-embedded specimens, precise dating remains elusive. bone analysis could fix age. The Folsom era in Canada featured animals such as a three-toed horse, a camel, a giant sloth, a mammoth, and various bison species, reflecting a broad hunter range.
