Your conclusion makes complete sense. These seem to be “patches” for broken shafts and spears.
Carrying several of these into open grass/tundra would be very smart.
Thanks for making and posting all of this.

There are some research in Europe that during the cold periods people happily sacrificed their stone points just so that they could save their spear shafts. They switched from stone points (inserted into a split shaft) to socketed antler points. So the split is in the antler and the shaft is not compromised. In warmer periods when straight wood was more available they shifted back to stone points. In Europe the finds are form the much earlier Aurignacian. I guess the same can apply the cold Younger Dryas period.

Good morning from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else

I used to live in North Georgia and I rarely found a River Canebrake. I now live in Southeastern West Virginia and it does grow here but they don't get over 5 ft high if that and they are about as big as your little finger and my sister lives in Clover South Carolina and it's all over the place there so I know what you're talkin about when it comes to the areas where they grow. This is so interesting I'm really enjoying this you certainly have put a lot of time into studying the habits of the Clovis and most of the native peoples, back in time that is. Thank you so much for doing another video on this topic. Look forward to more. Stay safe out there.

Lol, i was about 10 minutes in and thought to myself "wasnt there a ton of river cane, wouldnt that be ideal for..." and then i checked and sure enough there it was!

[@ryangray9881]

Coastal massachusetts has a surprising amount of river cane if you look for it.

I have seen this in action in a video ( documentary) and they used flint tools for butchering the elk they killed
