NOVA | America's Stone Age Explorers | The Fenn Cache | PBS: "They are the Clovis caches, groupings of exquisitely carved spear points and/or other flaked stone artifacts crafted thousands of years ago. Were they stored for a planned retrieval that never came? Were they ritual objects used in sacred ceremonies or as grave goods? Did the ancients use them for all three purposes? No one knows. But that only adds to their fascination for us today. Here, savor the skill and workmanship, the artistry and mystery, of 10 artifacts from perhaps the most spectacular of these early American collections, the Fenn Cache."
