The Gault artifacts and the meticulously disciplined techniques applied for exposing and recording them in situ are impeccable.

My friend and colleague, Mike Collins, who supervised much of the work at Gault is a no-nonsense sort of guy. I'd trust his results over almost anyone else's.

I haven't had a chance to work at Gault per se, but, I did work with Mike on graphical analysis of his excavations at the nearby paleo "Leander"site -- and his planning, execution, recording and analysis leave no room for phony claims.

I do have a number of other Texan friends and colleagues who still cling to the "Clovis First!" theory -- but their basis for still doing so is now almost 100% ego & stubbornness.

IMO, the results at Gault are the obituary for "Clovis First!"...

Thanks TXnMA.

We had a post recently about a pre Clovis site on an island up near Vancouver Canada that was about the same age I believe.
the theory is that they came by boat/rafts along the glacoer edges on the sea shores
