The first people to live in Georgia were the Paleo Indians. The word Paleo means very old, and they lived in Georgia from 11000 - 8000 B.C.E. Archaeologists, scientists that study old civilizations, have found artifacts from the Paleo people. Artifacts are man-made objects like spears or arrowheads.
The Paleo people migrated alot, and they followed big game animals like wooly mammoths, bison, mastodons, and giant sloths. The Paleo people gathered nuts and berries to eat, also. The Paleo people would be forced to move once all the big game animals were killed and berries gathered. The Paleo people moved too much to build permanent houses, and they mostly lived in caves and in pits.
The Paleo people used a spear like weapon called the atlatl, which allowed them to hunt animals from a distance. Scientists think that the Paleo people had a religion because they buried their dead with a fine red powder.
