I agree.

I think it is interesting that not one Clovis Point has been found to have been made after this event.

I watched a program about this just the other night on one of the science related channels.

I was fascinated to learn that there are more Clovis period settlements and Clovis spear points discovered along the Delmarva peninsular (Chesapeake Bay regions of Maryland and Virginia) than found in all of the entire SW and no evidence of any Clovis activity in the Delmarva after the Younger Dryas.

Also Clovis type spear points are not found on the Siberian side of the Bearing Straights. A much different technology and materials were used (on the Siberian side spear points are made of bone with sharp flint inserts vs. Clovis points made entirely of flint with channels carved for insertion into spears) so that would lend some credence to one theory that Clovis points were developed after a Bearing Straights – Asian migration or…as some spear points with a very similar to design and materials to Clovis points have been discovered in France that date to or date somewhat before the earliest Eastern Clovis settlements, there is a theory that says there were two separate migrations, one from Europe via an Atlantic crossing that were the Clovis and the other across the land bridge and that the Younger Dryas forced the Eastern Clovis culture to migrate West and perhaps melding with and into the Asian immigrant culture.

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