Holliday and Meltzer believe that the disappearance of Clovis spear points is more likely the result of a cultural choice rather than a population collapse.

So the Paleo Indians, as a "culture" decided to quit make Clovis points?

I read this as saying that sites of Clovis occupation were temporary and that different sites found provide a continuous record of Clovis occupation, hence existence.
