Doesn't the Book of Mormon refer to these people?

Jeeze — and I thought they must have spotted Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd out in Colorado.

My kids ALWAYS leave tools where they’re not supposed to.

Biochemical analysis of blood and other protein residue revealed the tools were used to butcher camels, horses, sheep and bears. That proves that the Clovis people ate more than just woolly mammoth meat for dinner

I would hope so -- all Mammoth all the time would be a drag.

Camels? I knew the camel family originated in N. America about 40 - 45 MYA, but thought they left (for both Asia and So. America) some 2 - 3 MYA. Looks like at least one type (perhaps llamas) stayed around a lot longer.

Have they torn down Mahaffy’s house looking for more yet?

He’s going to be asked to move, not get paid for years if ever etc.

Nightmare scenario.

If it happens to you, box them up and sell them at a rock show for whatever those thieves will give you. Notify no authority or you are FUBAR.

re: 13,000-year-old tools unearthed at Colorado home

We built a house once. I know how the owners feel. At least they have a finished house.

Our contractor went belly-up, after collecting over 90 percent of our money, and left us with a house that was about 30 percent complete. He had not filed a notice of commencement and had not paid a single supplier or sub-contractor. What a mess. Thankfully we had good counsel who realized the builder could be charged with grand theft. Amazing how fast he found a certified check for the money to complete the house. That was 30 years ago, we still live in and enjoy the house.

Kinda neat.

Probably some old Clovis tribal chiefs threatened to disarm the people and so they made their stash LOL!

Evidence that once, a very long time ago, intelligent life existed in Boulder.
