In subsequent years typical Folsom points were found all over the Midwest, as far east as Pennsylvania, as far north as New Hampshire, as far south as Georgia. The University...
Such was the Folsom situation when Major Roy Gregg Coffin of Colorado Agricultural College and his brother made a find in a dry arroyo that brought Dr. Frank Harold Hanna Roberts on the run from the Smithsonian Institution. Beneath 20 feet of ancient soil, Dr. Roberts laid bare what must have been a teeming Ice Age campsite and tool factory. Besides 30 Folsom points of jasper, chert and chalcedony, there was a scattered armamentarium of scrapers, knives, drills, engraving implements, hammers. Extending over a half-mile, the site was apparently once a lush pasture where Pleistocene animals, following the retreating...
