History of Native Americans in West Virginia -
"Paleo-Indian People - The first people in West Virginia were the Paleo-Indians or early hunters. They arrived sometime before 11,000 BCE. Excavations in the Kanawha and Ohio valleys, on Blennerhassett Island, and at Peck's Run in Upshur County have uncovered stone weapons of this period. The early hunters lived in small family units. Small nomadic groups hunted large game, such as mastodons, mammoths, and buffalo, with spears that had fluted points." - from the website.
