      Like Dogger land between England and the Netherlands. People lived there once, and all the artifacts are still there. There has to be an area on both coasts here that was once above water. A dredging ship brought up Mastodon bones and a spearpoint off the bottom of the ocean almost 100 miles off the east coast. That will give an indication of how far the ocean has risen to cover all that territory. No doubt the West Coast is no different. The coastal edge can be navigated by boat and the people can easily survive off of fishing, hunting sea mammals and birds, foraging plants and shellfish as well. Driftwood collects on any shore so they had fire, and fresh water could be had at any river or stream mouth where it met the ocean.

      One of the pieces of obsidian was traced back to Yellowstone. About 1800 miles traveled to trade big pieces of rock. Across the Colorado State line there is a place in Kansas called the flint Hills where many different tribes came to gather workable stone. It was a sort of neutral area where people came and gathered stone to make tools with and tribal factions were ignored briefly. I hope to visit and see what type of stone was available and hopefully some nice examples of what was made as well. Fascinating stuff.

The most recent site is in British Columbia, in the coastal Ice-Free Corridor, at Pink Mountain ( Treaty 8 Territory) a 13,000 yr old site, this is the furthest North a clovis point has been found. There was also black obsidian at this site from Anahim Peak, 500 km away on the Chilcotin Plateau.

      @@williamadams8353 Ancient Americas has a great video explaining a lot of stuff about the Old Copper Culture. The copper from the great lakes region is *exceptionally* pure to the point it could even be cold worked if someone was determined enough. You can even still find seams of it today IIRC. And on top of this the sources of stone for tools in the same area are not as high quality as they elsewhere.
      Smelting processes never really occured because of this purity and because its usually to smelt ore to get the metal out because of the percantages of whatever metal in ore. I think most working they did on the stone was rapidly heating and cooling it, but that was to break away the rock to release already workable material.
      For a time we can see evidence of this being put to work as tools and weapons, but eventually they start to primarily use it as jewelery. They likely used this as a batering resource to trade for the stone tools that they needed. Contrary to what one might thing, stone tools are in some ways better than metal ones. Especially a metal as relatively soft as unalloyed just straight up copper. They hold an edge longer and can easily be resharpened by just a bit of refacing.
      They traded this copper up and down the Mississippi and beyond, but its also just as likely it was traded again and again passing through dozens of hands.

Have other pieces like yours been found in that location? If so when and by who. I live in NE Colorado where 2 caches of pre-clovis items have been found. One was found in a wheat field in the 1940s and the other in a backyard in Boulder Colorado. The Boulder cache can be viewed online, and the items are amazing. Exotic materials from far away and some were much larger in size than average items. Maybe for display or ritual use, but do go check it out. Dug up by landscapers working in a guys backyard.

      @@sasachiminesh1204 Yes, you're absolutely right, I guess. I assume, Linda J54 alluded to the 'Solutrean'-hypothesis (based on supposed similarities in flint knapping technologies) and the fact that migration via the Beringia Landbridge, though commonly accepted as the most likely and exclusive way indigenous people first settled in the Americas could only have happened when sea levels were low during the Last Glacial Maximum. Also, people would have had to pass through an (assumed) ice-free corridor. Finding evidence for flint knapping in the respective area of that corridor would at least support a theory that has come under some scrutiny, recently (to say the least). Let's not forget that Clovis itself once was a 'revolutionary' theory that required archaeologists and anthroplogists to make up their minds and stretch the hitherto rigidly believed in timeframe...But also let us be sceptical of pseudo-scientific authors and UA-camrs who make a living on (arguably quite entertaining 😉) lies. Yes, flint knapping is human. I'd really like to learn how to do it, some day...

      Marine fossils are usually found on mountains top but they are very old, millions years old. They are located on mountains top because of the tectonic plates movement, by which the sea soil is very low ascending, lifting up lots of shells. This situation is not related to the flood, my friend. Catholic or Christian people have tendency to bringing up that explanation, flood covered mountain tops, but in this specific issue they are all wrong. Regards.

    i live at the northern most point of the ice corridor that facilitated the migration of these clovis people. in hersey mi. just north of my home is an area of recession moraines. i believe there must have been early settlements at this northern spot. ive found many many stone tools and remains of tools. but very few of them are made of chert or flint. we dont have any in this part of michigan. its primarily glacial till. and so i see tools of low quality. ground tools. i find spear points made from stone that is ineffective for any hunting application. its almost as if these tool makers were experimenting or practicing their skills. in some areas its almost as if a tool making school was thedre.. i find flakes, half made points, tools abandoned mid process, and tools of poor quality. im only a science and history enthusiast. i am limited to what is lying in creek beds, gravel pits, rock piles etc. a thorough exploration of this are by qualified scientists would be very very interesting and revealing. i hope it happens one day.

They were not "deprived" of citizenship -- they never HAD it, till the people who created this COUNTRY offered them citizenship IN their new country! (Too bad they lost the war for their lands -- that's the HUMAN CONDITION! Throughout ALL of human history and pre-history!) Have you never taken ANY civics class?

      He keeps pointing out unexplainable facts that won't go away, and that is when mainstream archeology ignores them, until the evidence mounts to the point it can't be ignored any more. Pre-clovis was once heresy and could end your career. Thankfully there are people in the field who are willing to keep digging and to keep poking holes in the dogma, and to file suit when evidence is found and is in danger of being buried again without being studied. Imagine Otzi being buried before scientists got a chance to examine and study his remains and the artifacts found with him. There has to be an American version of Otzi since there have been countless animals found frozen in the tundra. The truth is out there, but you have to keep looking for it. Even if it is a truth that defies accepted archeological history as we know it.

    I will proclaim Yahweh’s decree:
    He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father. Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
