The Iceman Cameth [Solutreans, Pre-Clovis]
Popular Archaeology ^ | Friday, October 2, 2015 | Patrick Hahn

All early American ancestors hailed from East Asia and Siberia? Not so fast, says a prominent scientist...

Stanford shows me some other artifacts. In addition to bifacial spear points, there are bone points, spear throwers, bow drills, hammerstones, scrapers, and flat stones that still retain traces of birch sap, which may have been used to apply waterproof seals to their boats. “Everything the Solutreans had, they have here,” Stanford explains. “Of course, that’s just coincidence.” Then he laughs that infectious laugh of his...

Stanford opens another drawer and shows some spear points recovered from Tennessee. The points are over 14,000 years old, he says, which makes them older than Clovis points. Intriguingly, they seem intermediate in form between Solutrean and Clovis technology, providing a possible link between the two cultures.

He opens yet another drawer and pulls out a spear point he says archaeologists recovered while excavating the ruins of an eighteenth-century farmhouse in Virginia. X-ray fluorescence revealed the flint came from France.

I was playing with twitter handles and found @Solutrean available. A guy on twitter complained why I wasn’t tweeting solutrean stuff so I blocked him. Idiot.

I’ve been thinking about starting a real-time recipe swapping and cooking tips site, and calling it “Fritter”. Beyond that, the idea I have for the technical implementation can’t be posted.

Kramer: Look at this, they are redoing the Cloud Club.

Jerry: Oh, that restaurant on top of the Chrysler building? Yeah, that’s a good idea.

Kramer: Of course it’s a good idea, it’s my idea. I conceived this whole project two years ago.

Jerry: Which part? The renovating the restaurant you don’t own part or spending the two hundred million you don’t have part?

Kramer: You see I come up with these things, I know they’re gold, but nothing happens. You know why?

Jerry: No resources, no skill, no talent, no ability, no brains.

Kramer: (interrupts) No, no…time! It’s all this meaningless time. Laundry, grocery, shopping, coming in here talking to you. Do you have any idea how much time I waste in this apartment?

Jerry: I can ball park it.

Can you imagine what the Solutreans must have thought at first contact with invaders from Siberia?

“Well, there goes mega-fauna!”
