    Upper East Tennessee here. Lots of the same. See: Gray Fossil Siite.
    Some crazy discoveries there. About 5 miles from my house, just off of an original old stage road and a warpath.

    What a great video. Damn this stuff is wild. You can tell what they hunted based on blood on the point

    Nice work! What are your thoughts on the cactus hill site and artifacts. Has there been proof that they are still considered pre Clovis? I live in WNC and I have one of the points that I found

    Always seemed absurd when I heard archeologists say megafauns weren't hunted by paleoindians.

    Albeit a big morbid, but it would be awesome to learn what the points I've found near me were used to hunt!

      Why do you feel it’s morbid?

    What about the Savana River fire hearth dating 50K BP? What about Meadow Croft PA dating 19K BP? What about the oldest artifact in Virginia being dredged from 400 feet of water with the bones from a Mastadon kill site. This subject point is from the Solutrian Culture. I have seen this point. The associated Mastadon bones are dated 23K BP. There are other sites in the southeast that predate Clovis.

    Duh! Isn't a Mammoth mega fauna. Ever heard of the Colby site?

    • @pathwaysofthepast
      @pathwaysofthepast  Місяць тому +2

      Yes, though in the southeast US we don’t really have cool kill sites like in the southwest since the soil is so acidic. Plus, it appears that finding these blood residues is far more reliable than finding the conditions to preserve megafauna bone, giving us a more holistic understanding of what Paleoindian people were hunting!

      @pathwaysofthepast Clovis points found in conjunction with Mammoth bones is pretty telling isn't it. There are other sites where they found the same thing. Colby site was unique because they found a new point type, the Colby Clovis. They determined these points were simply rebased Clovis points. Clovis and Scott's Bluff points have been found in conjunction with Cody Bison bones too. Cheers!?
