Clovis point

no, that has not been found.

Now, a few years back, well, five or six years ago, two miles from this location, a farmer was digging a ditch and he came across a perfect Clovis Point.

So, you know, obviously people were in the air.

Now, we would like nothing better than to find in this dig a perfect Clovis point or something older, really prefer something older.

But, you know, that has just not happened.

The site has been well dated, primarily through radiocarbon dating the soil.

Firestone and colleagues reported Clovis tools lying below a black layer at sites across North America, with none found within or above it.

Recent genetic studies have shown that paleo-indigenous groups, previously hypothesized to be distinct, are genetically identical to modern Native Americans.

The controversial theory that the first inhabitants of the Americas came from Europe via the North Atlantic, based on similarities between Solutrean stone tools and Clovis culture tools has been refuted.

The analysis of the genome of the Anzick child, associated with Clovis culture, revealed that it belongs directly to the ancestral lineage of Native Americans, with no genetic relation to upper Paleolithic European populations.

The dating of the formation of the genetic pool of Native American peoples varies among researchers, with differing interpretations spanning several millennia.

During the process of colonization of the American continent, Native Americans emerged from the mixture of a lineage that diverged from the peoples of ancient East Asia.
