Where water is, there will mankind be.

It takes water for plants to grow. Also fish and mollusks.
In addition, water is a highway for those without powered transportation.

It’s kind of embarrassing. I mean, just look what our neighbors to the South were doing about that time:

http://www.andaman.org/BOOK/chapter54/text-Clovis/Clovispoints.jpg ~ similar style. Item on your right in that st. cloud shot is a KNIFE and in my experience it is SHORT OF HAVING BEEN FINISHED. Maybe it was tossed away, or maybe it was just an emergency working blank.

SC, the Clovis points we got out of the well we dug on our lot in Indianapolis kinda proved that Clovis were there BEFORE the Younger Dryas ~ because the returning cold climate, and more moving ice, and the continuing drainage of the Ice Sheet through what is now Central Indiana covered the Clovis materials up with a layer of dirt.

This was maybe 20 to 30 miles south of the furthest advance of some really really tall ice ~ well over a mile. Kind of the melt limit on the ice so there was grass, etc. while the rest of the Midwest was still pretty much an iceage desert.

Actually, Leif Erikson imported these stone tools from Norway to fool the locals into thinking the Norwegians were there first.
