Anything that upsets both camps is good in my book. Upset? Not a chance. I love it, and I'm a professional archaeologist with 35 years of dirt under my fingernails.
These new discoveries are what help keep us going. Some of my recent work has supported an early coastal migration along the west coast, but we're looking at probably no more than 15,000 years ago for that one. Still, its great fun.

" it was unusual for archaeologists to dig deeper than the layer of the Clovis culture, on the grounds that no human artifacts would be found older than Clovis."
Is this mostly true?

Yes it is "upset". you are telling me that the scientific community has accepted with open arms the claims in recent decades that have pushed the migration model as far back as we see it today? They fought it at every turn.

About how many of you are in the field? I mean anthropology. How much money is behind your investigations?
