How would those Europeans have gotten across, do you think?

About 18,000 years ago, there would have been an ice "coastline" from France to New York. I've read suggestions that early settlers could have made their way along that.

>>>>>>>>>>>That was more toward the end of the ice coastline and it was actually thought to have been Basque/Portuguese fishermen that may have migrated along the area. The clovis point matches the points made in that area of Europe. The highest concentration of clovis points is not in the west (named for Clovis, NM where first found), but in Virginia.
