The most complex hunting tool those humans had would have been a stone tipped spear.
It's in White Sands; more surprised it didn't get accidental blapped during a weapons test decades ago before they turned the dunes in a nat'l monument/nat'l park.

Nice thing about science, if you destroy the evidence it never happened.
How many academic careers and books are threatened by proof of humans in the America’s before they should be.
I know they have a site in North Carolina that was carbon dated and made everyone’s head spin because it was over 10,000 years to early.
And
One in Mexico that is older.

Probably slightly better than that, bows are about 71,000 years old. Still stone-tipped but a more complex weapon.

I think I've heard of the Mexican one (might be more than one instance so we could be thinking of different instances). The instance I was specifically thinking of was where there was a Canadian island in the Great Lakes where they found strong evidence of humans prior to when they should have been in the Americas, by several thousand years, and then for some mysterious reason the entire site got bull-dozed and had a vacation resort built on top of it, right when every other reputable archeologist in the field refused to go there and confirm the findings.
What's funny (in the sense of sad and pathetic) is when archeologists send their findings to geological labs, without any context, to ask for dating, and get figures way older then the archeology says it should have been, and then the archeological community ruin the carriers of everyone involves at the geological labs for being 'pseudo-scientists'. 😂 What a bunch of practical jokers.

Those could have been points for throwing spears instead of arrowheads. The oldest bows ever found are only 9,000-10,000 years old.
The Holmegaard Bows.

A point only one inch long must have belonged to an incredibly tiny spear.
The Holemegaard bows are the oldest surviving examples because that's as old as you can typically have a wooden artifact survive. However, the Holmegaard bows are also indicative of a fully mature technology that must have been many thousands of years old, said bows are every bit as advanced as the best wooden bows we can make today rather than primitive in construction, so there must have been a lot of advancement before them.
When spaniards defeated Aztecs,they go for more prymitive tribes.One had longbows with obsidian arrowheads capable of going throught plate armour.
And about site - i read about Canada site with 400.000 old stone tools.It was unaccidentally destroyed.
