This is in that period at the end of the last full glaciation and before the Younger Dryas event. This device was probably manufactured by an individual whose ancestors came from Europe, which was why they made their way to the North so fast ~ they'd developed the technique of living close to the ice.

I suspect everyone then living in Indiana was killed when the great comet crashed into the remaining ice sheet to the North. That comet just happened to smash into the biggest gold and diamond site in Saskatchewan. The ejecta covered the Midwest. Residual gold can still be found in highlands to the South of this find.

So is that where the gold came from that people pan for at Morgan-Monroe State Forest? I’ve always wondered how there could be gold there.

Yes, I was also thinking about Firestone’s hypothesis, which proposes the giant meteor event at 12,800 years ago. It is interesting that this is in the 10,000 year time frame, but talks of Mastadons and Giant Beaver, so if the boloid happened, then obviously all the mega fauna was not immediately destroyed. I guess that giant beaver would have been protected by being in water or inside their huts. I like the idea about the northern Europe possible connections. Have American archeologists compared this awl/needle with European manufactures of that age?
