"Have you ever tried to make one?"

Nah. Smart arrows are in vogue.No chipping involved.

[Quix]

LOL.

So, who are your Sherpas carrying the bag of arrows?

[JoeProBono]

Sherpas carry anything including housing:-}

"Probably some old Clovis tribal chiefs threatened to disarm the people and so they made their stash LOL!"

They may find one of mine one day too, ahem.

[Quix]

WOW.

Whoop! Sorry! Thanks txroadkill.

Good luck to whoever tries to find the gold coins I've got buried.

And just to make sure, I've got a sign over the spot that says, "There is NO gold buried here".

Evidence that once, a very long time ago, intelligent life existed in Boulder.

home run!

The Clovis points are stunning workmanship. But one day the Clovis People and many of the large animals they ate just went away.

[gleeaikin]

They probably did not “just go away”.

SunkenCiv has repeatedly posted the book by Firestone, et al, about a giant extraterrestrial air burst that probably destroyed the Clovis culture, killed most of the large mammals so that they went extinct not long afterward, and created the Carolina Bays. It is fascinating reading, and I am inclined to believe the hypothesis.

[Mike Darancette]

I am inclined to believe the hypothesis.

I read the book and that is exactly I meant. Even though the three strike theory beginning 41kya is a bit convoluted it is obvious that something really bad happened 13kya which quickly removed Clovis Man and the mega fauna from the scene.
