    My mother, was writing a series of historical novels, before she died. She had me do her research on both Native Americans and Paleo-Indians. This went along with my own studies of Anthroplogy and Archaeology. I found a wealth of research info, including on the Clovis discovery in TX.
    I was not aware so much new info was found at the site. Thank you for sharing this. I live in OK and this site is now on my bucket list.

    Thank you, Kayleigh. I have only recently learned of the Gault site, even though I live quite close to it, in Austin about 50 miles (80 km) from it. My daughter, who has an archeology degree from Texas State University in San Marcos, said that people in her department often volunteered there, so of course it was known in those circles. But maybe your publicity of the site will lead to more support from the public. Good job.

      The generally accepted fact is that humans were living in White Sands, New Mexico, USA 22,000 years ago during the last glacial maximum. At that time, White Sands was a lake not a dessert.
      Human footprints were found with seeds above and below the footprints thus bounding them to no earlier than 23,000 years ago and no later than 21,000 years ago.
      There was no land path for their ancestors to walk from Beringia. The only realistic way for their ancestors to get to the Americas was by boat.

    Hi Kayleigh! I'm from Texas and have been to the Gualt Site! Myself and a small group of friends volunteered there. It's a beautiful place. When I was standing in the sort of shallow valley where the then current dig was situated, I didn't wonder why the site was occupied for so long. It is so lush. Deep soil (a rarity for Central Texas), seasonal water ways. Edible plants EVERYWHERE. Dr. Collins is a professor at my alma mater and I actually met him at a luncheon with the Department of Agriculture at Texas State University. I'm so pleased that you have made so many people aware of this place. In my undergraduate training in Anthropology at Texas State, I was taught both "Clovis first" and the Bering Land Bridge Hypothesis. I'm a little bitter about that and am so pleased that the dogma is starting to fall away with new critical thinkers. Thank you so much for what you do. ❤

While I don’t remember the address, it had a very creepy old family cemetery in the middle of the field and all the trees had no bark. It wasn’t too far from the local church back then (late 1980’s).

    When I was a young boy, around 1960, my parents and grandmother took me to a farm owned by a friend of hers in Illinois. For several decades, after plowing his field he would walk it and pick up artifacts that he had churned up. I saw 8-10 dresser drawers full of arrow heads of all sizes, spear heads, axe heads, needles and other decorative items. There were other display cases holding some of the finest pieces. All from the 200 acres or so that he farmed. I hope his collection ended up at a university or museum.

      If it was in southern Illinois, a good number of those would date to sometime in the 1600-1800 range. That was the time period of extensive migration. There was also the large settlement near St Louis, Missouri that could account for it.
      My ancestors moved through that region after the French & Indian War as well as dozens of other tribes.

    Hang in there Kayleigh - a diagnosis is an early step in the treatment process. When my daughter was 2 years old she was diagnosed with ASMD and we faced what you’re going through now. Very little was known about her condition and there was no treatment and no cure. Forty years later and she’s now receiving enzyme replacement therapy that potentially reverses symptoms and mitigates a significant amount of damage done to her body by the disease. You see - hope is the anchor of the soul and promotes a healthy outlook. I don’t typically like to give unsolicited advice but will say this - look into your condition and find an organization supporting research into treatments and potential cures. We’ve met many wonderful people over the years affected by ASMD either as patients or family of and some really great research scientists and doctors who’ve poured their lives into finding a cure for this deadly disease.
    I really enjoy your videos and am intrigued by their content. I’m not too far from the Gault site and since I’m twice retired will look into going out there to explore a part of Texas I was mostly unaware of. Thanks for the great videos!

    work initially because he was finding evidence that seemed to predate Clovis.

But, pro athletes are using it, and I have my wife back. On the topic of Clovis Points, so named after the first one was found in Clovis, New Mexico, one was discovered near France in the Mediterranean Sea. Archeologists couldn't understand how it came to be there, but I know. Consult with different Cherokee tribal chiefs, several, and ask them how they came to be in this country. It is a fascinating story that you will not find in any books. It is only passed down from generations. Great video. Thank you.

    I’m pretty sure you proved Grahm Hancocks major criticism. He said the major problem is most archaeologists will ignore things that don’t fit the narrative. Had Dr. Collins not stepped up this site would have been ignored because it was a “lost cause”. This is exactly what Mr. Hancock criticizes them about.

      I agree. Their main problem is that they think that they know a lot, instead of assuming that they know very little for sure a small drop of water in an ocean while ignoring much more than what they think they know.

    Great video Kayleigh! Well done illuminating the news with a grounded sensibility. I also have been recently diagnosed with an incurable condition which has motivated me to hike 4 to 5 miles a day and bike 20 miles. All the physicality is a bit of a silver lining. Fortunately we may be approaching a new era in medicine with certain technical advantages over the pre historical folks you study so passionately. Thanks for you candor. You’re a gem.

    Kayleigh: Thank you for the excellent summary of the Gault story. And I want to commend your commentary on the importance of supporting research. The rate of destruction of irreplaceable cultural resources has accelerated in recent years as artifact hunting has been popularized in the media. While collecting seems to be an innocent pastime for many, the wholescale mining of sites for the sole purpose of removing artifacts is inherently destructive and, sadly, there are few legal prohibitions against this activity. I grew up on a small ranch just a few miles from the Gault site in a time when the vast archaeological record of Central Texas was largely untouched. Today, undisturbed sites are rare. So it is increasingly important that we understand the importance of what we're losing before it's too late. The Gault School of Archaeological Research, founded by Dr. Collins, is dedicated to the mission of Research, Preservation and Education. The achievements you highlight have only been possible as a result of the generosity and commitment of hundreds of volunteers and contributors. And the work goes on!
    Thank you,
    Tim Brown

    No doubt they were all hat and no cattle! Hopefully, Kayleigh is feeling better too! Well another controversial dig site but nothing was as bad as the Homo floresiensis find when one native scientist actually damaged the bones!
    For those wondering Kayleigh said she has Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) an inflammatory disease that includes pain and stiffness in the spine and may affect other joints. AS is an autoimmune disease that typically begins in young adulthood, but often gets overlooked or incorrectly diagnosed as pain from a previous injury or aging.

    Just about every farmer and rancher's wife on the West side of I-45 here in Texas has a collection of arrowheads and spear tips found just laying on the surface. When hurricane's blow in sometimes you will find Clovis points dragged up from sea floor when the Texas coast was 60 miles farther out during the Ice Age. You can spend years down there before you will find a broken Clovis point but they do wash up.

    When I was a child (8-13 yrs). We went camping, regularly at an old mill pond. There was a dirt road nearby where we could walk along that road peering into a short stretch of the adjacent ditch and find bits of pottery and "arrowheads". Never found anything intact, definitely nothing fluted like Clovis. Story was. It was adjacent to a pre-colonial creek village.
    Central State of Georgia halfway Columbus to Macon. Wonder how many campgrounds from early 60 to later crushed under developers' housing projects that didn't get rescued like the Gault site. Fascinating place for me as a boy.

    Kayleigh, your illness seems to have symptoms similar to the Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis that I had about 40 years ago. This is also an auto-immune disease. Fortunately for me, it did go into remission after taking steroids. A heavy dose for 2 weeks then tapering off for a year. You are dealing with this in the right way by staying active and fit. I am close to 60 and other than some minor joint aches, I am doing very well. Best of luck with this!

    Apparently I was born with a Pars defect at L5. I was in my 50s the first time I had a problem when I got out of bed one morning and my legs gave out. I was able to manage it into my late 60s when it became difficult to walk. Doctors didn't want to do anything because it could paralyze me. Now in my 70s even sitting upright can only be for short periods. I hope you have better doctors and more advancements are made.

My late mother was a professional physiotherapist; and I am fairly sure she would have shown you some movements that are meant to keep you mobile. No strain, just movement, that will keep your limbs elastic, and with them the nerves running along them. Imagine your living room door is really creaky, but your partner is sleeping on the couch and you don't want to wake them up. So you move cautiously but steadily. Being able to sneak through life like through such a door, will be your goal.

    About 40 years ago(ooooof) I lived in Alabama and we had a long driveway that was dug a couple of feet into the ground and everytime we had a heavy rain I found arrowheads coing out of the banks. I ended up with a cigar box full with like 4 different style of arrowheads from white to color black and in between. Ended up find around 20 arrowheads while living there. I wish I could travel back in time and tell my kid self to maybe investigate it a little more. I have not found another arrowhead in my life since I moved away from there. There is no telling what might be hiding under the surface there.

    People can hate anyone that may know more than them especially those that are publicly known as experts. They often don't care about the truth of archeology but do care about discrediting experts they feel threatened by. They are not really looking for facts only fuel to burn the experts to a crisp[not literally]. If the ideas both discredit experts and give them flights of fancy they love it even more.
    People need to raise their children with love so there will be fewer people that feel threatened by the publicly recognized consensus of experts.

    This is amazing. I can’t wait to see the movie. I have first Nations ancestry from the Taino line of my family and there’s very little about the time you know out there, but genetically I’ve been linked to the Melanesians, who supposedly were the first south Americans, and there is just so little information right now that there’s more every year, but just in my lifetime we have discovered tons of things and reversed. A lot of things that were formerly believed about the first nations in these two continents. I do believe there’s a place for Graham Hancock and his fantastic entertainment series but it’s not archaeology that he does it’s speculation that’s OK they have fantasies and might not you know if any of his stuff gets a kid interested in anthropology or archaeology then it’s a good thing, as long as they go to the real thing and not alien fantasy season all that weird useless drivel about crystal computers and an Atlantis and flying ships and stuff like that you know I don’t buy that because I use my brain. I accept this nonsense could be possible, but I’m gonna need to see some kind of proof, and Graham Hancock has had no real proof of any of his stories, but the find us in taxes is an amazing find. It’s a shame more money isn’t put behind sites like this, but hopefully the movie will do really well and more money will be able to go into the site.
