The Clovis culture is the one at issue here ~ not an earlier one, nor a later one. Solutrean and Clovis technology appear to be so similar that you have to stand on your head to argue that they could possibly have different origins.

And wouldn't that suggest that the Solutreans some how crossed the Atlantic? If memory serves me correctly one of the problems with the Clovis first theory is that researchers could not trace the stone blades completely back to Asia but as you aptly noted are very similar to artifacts found in Souther Europe..
