...and try to find out for you.

Please don't bother. I thought you may have some information at hand that would address the apparent discrepencies from this early find and its conclusions(based on a now extinct buffalo line?) to more recent finds with their attendant conclusions that don't exactly support each other.

These artifacts about which he writes would later fall under that rubric.

Clovis? Apparently a species of buffalo has become extinct during modern times if Clovis is associated with it. I'll have to do some looking around myself. Thanks for the reply.

Well, Clovis ruled (under so-called calibrated radiocarbon dates) 13,325 - 12,975 cal before present, just a few hundred years, and sufficiently long ago that it can't really be called modern. The European Bison was hunted out and/or went extinct due to climate change somewhat more recently, but still prehistorically. Examples of modern extinction include some bird species such as the Passenger Pigeon (hunted out to sell squab to hotels out east).
