I'll believe it when I see their suitcases and the typical destination T-shirts.......

Tourists that come, buy the T-shirts, and go home are fine; it's those pushy expats who muscle in, then stay without assimilating, and corrupt local customs and values, who are the problem.

I still think Clovis is an Eastern point type. When you consider the pre-Clovis artifacts from the Eastern U.S. and their similarity to Solutrean artifacts from France/Spain it's hard to ignore the European angle.

I once heard Dennis Stanford say that there are more Clovis sites on the shores of the Delaware Bay than anywhere else in the Country.

And the gap in time pertains to the lower sealevel that prevailed for a long period — transitional forms, if any, are underwater now.

We’re in agreement on the Clovis issue.
Stanford also says that transitional types have been
found on the Maryland eastern shore.
