Tucson's Timeline: 10,500 B.C. to 9,200 B.C.
 From 10,500 to 9,200 B.C., skilled hunters probably lived along the banks of the Santa Cruz River. The river would have attracted large game animals such as camels, horses, bison and mammoths.
In Tucson, the actual campsites of these people have not been found, they may be very deeply buried or lost to erosion along the river bank.
This finely crafted Clovis spear point was found on the ground surface of a much later period Hohokam site near Valencia Road. Findings such as this suggest that people lived in the Tucson Basin during this time period.
