Basically it proposes that the Clovis people were less migrant than previously though and with a more diverse diet.

They also found possible evidence of a pre-Clovis culture:

There's been all sorts of pre-Clovis evidence over the years. But it'll take a generation of archeologists to die out before it becomes conventional wisdom.

Thanks for the link. I have decided to cordon off my old garden (about 20 x 80 feet already fenced off) and start an archaeological dig. I once found a perfect arrowhead farther out in my back yard and the garden is closer to the dry stream bed.

Who knows what I might find?

I love all this archaeology. If I get down to pre-Clovis, I'll call in some experts. ;-D
