Recently, I read that most of the Clovis points found are to the east of the Mississippi River, they were only made for 150 years and the youngest one ever found is 12,900 years old.

Archaeologist Dennis Sanford believes the Clovis Point makers were from Europe and the survivors from the catastrophe in 12,900 began making the Folsom point because all the big mammals were dead and Clovis points weren't needed.

Got this off another thread (Thanks to gleeaikin)

“The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes”, Firestone, et al., 2006, hypothesizes a 300 mile diameter snowball crashing into what became Hudson Bay about 13,000 years ago, destroying the Clovis Indian culture, decimating the large mammal population, and precipitating the 1,000 years of cold called the Younger Dryas.”

I watched a program on the History channel, I believe it was titled "10,000 B.C.", this past weekend that postulated that the Clovis Point makers were from Europe. The oldest points being found in Va. that were similar to points found in France.

Very interesting and informative program.
