So, these two scholars offer speculation, conjecture and opinion but ZERO evidence in their "publication" to rebut the impact theory or some other catastrophic event? I get it; publish or die! Anyway, when they aren't sun gazing they might want to spend a little time looking into the contemporaneous disappearance of the mega fauna. Not that they could be connected...

Here's one I found in my front yard:
A lifetime of looking has yielded only three complete Clovis points, along with a good assortment of heart breakers.

Been hunting them most my life and never found a Clovis, we do find allot of plainviews and similar paleo type points.
A center piece to any collection, very nice!
To: Dusty Road
Here are
some most of my best finds.
The Clovis at upper right is fluted from base to tip.

Check out these points.
I have the same as #3, 6 & 10 of the top row.
#1, 2 & 4 of the second row.
#1, 3, 5 & 9 on the third row.

Man, I hate it when I go looking for my glasses and then realize...I'm wearing them.

I think these reading glasses would work better if they were somehow made part of the monitor — easier to keep clean.

I understand completely.
Just like trying to find (Honey, where the *&^$ did you hide the (^&*^$#@@*&!!! phone book THIS time!?!) the phone book, when your elbow is resting on it.
And, yes; I also wear glasses. She threatened to get me one of those beeper gizmoes to help me find them, until I pointed out I would then just lose the clicker thing.
OTOH, neither of us have to put up with having to bear this guy's cross:

Thank the Good Lord I didn't have to go through junior high & high school with a name like that, AND glasses!

So there was a sterile space between Clovis and newer cultures. However, how many of these gaps occurred at the same time in widely spaced locations.
What about the Black Mat? What about the directionality of the axes of the eliptical Carolina and other Bays? What caused the Younger Dryas? Why did megafauna and Clovis disappear at the same time?
Yes, if the large animals were gone, it would make sense to use smaller points.

Only the first pic is from my front yard - the single Clovis.
The rest are from MO, TN, KY and NC mostly.

Thanks. I found most of mine in Travis county near Lake Travis, but some are from the farm in Lee county. There is an Indian burial ground on the part of the farm which I inherited and will remain as is.
