Vers 8, 000 ans av. J. C.(...) apparaissent, dans les Hautes Plaines de l'ouest de l'Amérique du Nord, des types de pointes de projectile, longues et larges, de forme lancéolée, caractérisées par une fine retouche, habituellement par pression. En raison de leur(...) position stratigraphique, les types de pointes appelées Plano, semblent dériver des pointes de Clovis, de Folsom et peut-être de Sandia.
