    Explanation
    Stone points are best used to date sites because they are archaeological artifacts commonly found at archaeological sites. Stone points are tools made from stone that were used by ancient humans for various purposes such as hunting, cutting, or scraping. These artifacts can provide valuable information about the time period in which they were used, including the technology and techniques employed by ancient societies. Therefore, by analyzing the characteristics and context of stone points found at a site, archaeologists can determine the approximate age of the site and gain insights into the activities and lifestyles of the people who once inhabited it.

    Explanation
    Clovis points are the first type of projectile points to be found. These points are typically associated with the Clovis culture, which existed approximately 13,000 years ago. Clovis points are known for their distinctive fluted shape, which allowed them to be securely attached to a spear or arrow shaft. They were used by early Native American hunters, particularly in hunting large game such as mammoths. The fact that the points mentioned in the question are from a Mammoth kill site suggests that they are Clovis points.
