Blackwater Draw, also known as Anderson Basin or Blackwater Locality No. 1, is an archaeological site that is the type site of the Clovis culture. Evidence of "fluted" points, Spearheads also known as Clovis points (a New World invention) and other stone and bone weapons, tools, and processing implements was found at the archaeological site. These artifacts are in association with the remains of extinct Late Pleistocene megafauna that were hunted by the early peoples who visited there.

The archaeological site is known for its well-defined statigraphic horizons that exhibit numerous cultural sequences. The sequences begin with the earliest New World peoples and continue through the southwestern archaic, and into the historic period.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.Note: A National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination document should be available upon request from the National Park Service for this site, but it appears not to be available on-line from the [http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreghome.do?searchtype=natreghome NPS Focus search site] .]
