"I'll have to ask Mike Collins (the Gault Site) about that one..."

It's true.

Yup. I saw that program too. Pretty good. Those are Dennis Sanford's ideas...he is the author of the below linked article:

Immigrants From The Other Side (Clovis Is Solutrean?)

BTW, there have been more Clovis points found east of the Mississippi than to the west of it.

"It's true."

I don't doubt your data -- but...

Although Gault (see http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/gault/index.html) here in Texas is one of the more (the most?) productive Clovis sites anywhere, somehow, I find that I've been "sidetracked" by events (and the plenitude of historic sites in NE TX) into near 100% concentration on historic archaeology of late. I'm still wondering how this lithic technologist gradually wound up immersed in GPS/satellite-mapping pioneer wagon trails, homesites, etc... :-}

Consequently, I've lost track of recent thinking on subjects like Clovis, etc. Fortunately, Texas resident geomorphologist/archaeologist and Clovis expert, (and now owner of much of Gault) Dr. Michael B. Collins, is a really nice guy and friend. You've just reminded me that I should contact Mike and find out what is currently going on in the Clovis (and ?pre-? Clovis) world.

When I catch Mike in his office at TARL, I'll also ask him if the soils in the Clovis horizon at Gault have been examined for the evidence mentioned in the article.

Helen Thomas surely remembers those days, somebody should just ask her what happened.
