Excellent! Fascinating. Mostly new info to me. Want to learn more. Sure wish I could have participated when I was young. Too old now, I'm 80 yrs old now.
I live in Fl. Between the Aucilla and Econfina river and I found a cool spot with a huge circular stone withe a whole in the center,a square table or chair,chips and small quarries at the edge of a cypress hammock where they had unearthed stones that were mostly left......I did find a nice piece of chert... The skidders are destroying the site everey 20 years when they crop there pines...such a pitty...these things should be in a museum..... Awesome guest.
Fascinating and informative update on what is known about the earliest people in America. We can only study the earliest peoples by going off shore and into the water but the technology is quickly evolving to make this much more easily possible.
The best understanding of the fluted 'notch' on the Clovis type point: it's formed to assist in the hafting (securing) of the blade onto the split (& shaped) end of a spear. This was accomplished by using thin cordage in conjunction with natural adhesives (tree resins). p.s. big fan of Dr Jessi Halligan ~
The ivory rods that are pointed were most likely used for butchering large megafauna. we used similar pins when I was young to clean large elk when they could not be lifted. We have found these all over the rivers here in Florida especially around mastodon skeletons. Most likely people would use this to hold the skin back and pin it to itself so they could access the carcass.
Great video. I have a site that is untouched by modern humans. I have owned the worlds largest spring here in FL for 45 years. No one knows about this spring. It is known to go straight down 250' and that is all that is known. It has a large bog site on the spring run before the river.
Come scan the now-submerged banks of the Pleistocene Columbia River channel. 😊 One suspects the Columbia would have been of interest to the very esrliest peoples in N America, as they made their way down the coast. 25kya sites possible? 30k, maybe?
Theory: maybe the ,"Ancient One's", of the now ,"America's",have always been the true native peoples. Instead of coming from another land, they could have populated near the coastlines of America's. As the water rose they moved inland and that's why all artifacts date back to a similar time.Well the same time at numerous locations around the America's which would be impossible if people's traveled from the same route to inhabit the America's.
Thank you for a very informative Video, this is important information to all who love our past.

Off-shore in the Pacific Northwest would be the _very_ earliest, one suspects.
Very interesting! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This all makes such common sense to me.
Ive always wondered why no one had done this as all the coasts would have been under water. Hmmm.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Those fishtail points from the Lake George site look very similar to some Clovis age points from South America

He must have been to the smithsnonion if he lost his artifact 😂😂😂
Look up mystery sink or emerald sink in florida.

Greetings from the BIG SKY. The YD it sounds like.

It is fairly obvious if you want to haft a point, reducing the thinknesss would enable easier fixation. If you have made these weapons you would know.
