New Mexico - 2025 ACF Fall

Question

A type site at this state’s Blackwater Draw preserves stratified evidence of the Clovis and Folsom cultures. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this state where ancestral peoples left behind ruins of kivas at Chaco Canyon and Taos.

ANSWER: New Mexico [or NM]

[10h] The Clovis culture is largely distinguished from the later Folsom tradition through these artifacts, which the Folsom improved upon with a longer and more precisely fluted design.

ANSWER: projectile points [accept arrowheads or arrow tips or spearheads or spear tips; reject specific types of tools such as “arrows” or “spears”]

[10e] Similar Clovis and Solutrean points support theories of Europeans settling America via floes of this substance. In Beringia models, this substance’s retreat allowed the Americas to be populated at the end of its namesake age.

ANSWER: ice [accept ice age]
