The "Clovis as oldest&quo...Good post, Suvrat.<br /><br />The "Clovis as oldest" paradigm has been eroding for a long time now. Dr. Collins is only partly right on this point: many people have looked deeper and many have wanted to topple the Clovis First paradigm. I've been skeptical of most specific examples -- not one seemed convincing in and of itself (Tupper, etc.), though the sheer number of proposed early sites was hard to ignore. The new Texas work has put me in the likely pre-Clovis camp.<br /><br />My question then is what does the Clovis event represent? It's a consistent appearance of a material culture across North America. A migration? A physical displacement of people? An osmosis of technology and lifestyle?CMhttp://iapetusbeat.comnoreply@blogger.com
