Plano Cultures Information

The Plano cultures[1],[2],[3],[4] is a name given by archaeologists to a group of disparate hunter-gatherer communities that occupied the Great Plains area of North America between 9000 BC and 6000 BC.

The Plano cultures are characterised by a range of projectile point tools collectively called Plano points[5],[6] and generally hunted bison although their diets also included pronghorn antelope, elk, deer, raccoon and coyote.

By the beginning of the Archaic Era they had begun to adopt a more varied, sedentary approach to subsistence.
