Did you really make that? If so, excellent.

BTW, Dusty, I have some friends who are named Roland and Sandy Meadows.

About the only thing regarding the early intercontental migrations of humans is our current levels of knowledge are woefully short of any “truth” ! Most accounts I’ve read delimit these tribes to “primitive technologies” ! I submit, because most of those artifacts were ephemeral, we can’t make that assumption ! >PS

[Steve Van Doorn]

what do you use them for?

1493 got a good review in the WSJ just a few months ago.

"I'm still predicting Gold at $1,200 by the end of the year. "

Some are framed for display others have been given to friends and family. It's a hobby I picked up many years ago.

I have always thought that Clovis being the earliest men in America was rankly silly. There it is in New Mexico. Did they just fly in there on an Airbus the month before? If they came the Bering route surely it took a while. If they came down the coast in boats surely they didn’t hop on a bus and go to New Mexico from Santa Catalina.

[Red Badger]

The Clovis people were probably illegals........................

Hunted the animals to extinction? But... but... “Native Americans” were peaceful vegetarians, living in calm harmony with nature and all living things. I’m so confused!

[Red Badger]

There were not enough humans in the New World to hunt anything to extinction. That explanation has always been malarkey. There was a huge die-off by all large animals at the end of the last ice age, possibly a meteoric event..........

[pabianice]

LOL! Anthro PCers still trying to deny that the first Americans came from Europe.

[pabianice]

Uh-huh. Where’s the huge crater such a hit would create?

[pabianice]

“Home Page removed by Moderator.” Huh?

[Red Badger]

It’s called Hudson Bay.............

[RitchieAprile]

supposedly up near Sudbury Ont., and also supposedly responsible for the nickel deposits there.

[GreenHornet]

"The evidence from the Manis site shows that people were hunting mastodons with bone weapons before the Clovis stone spear point."

Also, the discovery of what appears to be a mastodon hunting blind littered with ancient beer cans and potato chip bags further supports the theory that people were hunting in the area much earlier than previously believed.

Hold muh grog and watch this..............

Who knows? A few more stories like these and all of native American History could be turned on its head. What would that do to the price of gold? We can only imagine.
