Clovis and Theories
This program is about the interesting and controversial battles that are being waged in the wide field of archaeology in the Americas. Long held beliefs are being upended by new discoveries and non-archaeologist scientists are bringing new technologies to bear in proposing theories that are driving at least some traditional old school archaeologists to distraction.
Clovis is named after the New Mexico town because it is near the site, Blackwater Draw, where beautiful fluted points and tools were found with mammoth, camel, horse, bison and many other extinct animals’ bones. The Clovis period lasted only about 300 years, ending 12,800 years ago.
