...a spearhead, or projectile point, that could have been used by hunters in the Clovis cultural era around 11,000 years ago to pursue a giant mammoth or buffalo in the vicinity of what is now Point Dume... was found in September 2005 by Edgar Perez, a cultural resources specialist for the Tongva Tribe in Los Angeles, who was hired as the Native American monitor at a Point Dume residential construction site. Stickel said Perez was overseeing backhoe digging and spotted the spearhead in the bucket before it was crushed... Interestingly, some descendants of the post-Clovis Chumash, traditionally considered Malibu's earliest residents, are wary of Clovis findings. Their oral histories may vary but, in some form, they subscribe to the prevailing coastal migration route theory that the first "Americans" were Asians who crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia. Dennis Stanford, however, has put forth the thesis, which Stickel thinks the Clovis finds support, that the earliest migrants came across the Atlantic from southwestern Europe on ice packs that bound all of the land masses closer together some 21,000 to 16,000 years ago.

"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest

Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
thanks
de nada.
Trivia: I've heard the city of (often weird) "stars" is still on a septic tank system because it's feared that a regular sewer system would encourage more growth.
The earliest human remains, ie skulls, found in the Americas
are not Asian.

Nice find - how’d you wend your way to the malibu Surfside News?
I bet Sunken Civ has a few Google automatic search terms set up on things like archealogical, fossil, "clovis point" etc.
The automated searches that I have set up for work certainly turn up some odd publications. Then when I forward the story to someone they think I am so informed to be reading so many different news sites.

Maybe I need to figure out how this PC thingy works.
My semi-automated search engine is FR.
You can go to Google and have it email you news and web alerts. http://www.google.com/alerts
For example if your spouse is a famous author, or you work for an elected official, you can put that name in as one of the search terms and whenever that name pops up on the Internet somewhere, Google will alert you. (timeliness of the alerts varies depending on the site)
Authenticated as using Clovis technology, but not as a true Clovis point. Interesting. As someone who’s not only a collector of flint artifacts and also a flint knapper, I’d love to exam that point. Was it the only find? was it complete? what material was it made from?
Fake Clovis points are a dime a dozen.
and
Knew you could!
Could what?
Dude.
