Colby Site

The Colby Site is an archaeological discovery located near Worland, Wyoming. This site is significant because it is a large mammoth kill site. Prehistoric projectile points, specifically from the Clovis culture, have been found there. The Clovis culture is one of the earliest well-defined cultures in the New World, dating back to approximately 9000 to 10,000 BCE. These early peoples were known as big-game hunters, and their distinctive artifacts, like the Clovis Fluted projectile point, are often found in association with the remains of large Pleistocene mammals, such as mammoths.12
