Morphology of Projectile Point Types Body Shape (the main outline), Blade Edge Outline, Shoulder Type, and Base Type
Paleoindian Period13,000-11,000 BP
Kitsap County Clovis
Thrusting spears are the primary hunting tool
For a period of about 8,000 years there is little change in the archaeological record of stone tools
There is some regional and possible time variations, but they are still poorly understood
The atlatl is the primary hunting weapon in this period
Hartstene
The Mud Bay Site and some of the projectile points found there.
