| After the end of the last Ice Age, big-game hunters roamed the Southwest. Hunting extinct forms of bison, mammoth, and other herd animals, these nomads used atlatls to throw their projectiles. The points of these projectiles define the Folsom Culture, distinctive with their elegant fluting. Although their camps have not been found within Petrified Forest National Park, several fluted projectile points made of petrified wood have been discovered. | |||||||||||||||||||
