But lets think about it for a moment. If this migration occurred lets say 60kya, there would be several glacial advances between then and now and a lot of "earthmoving" could have occured. If I go back 30kya, there is progressively fewer "advances", and more of a pseudo "static situation" and retreat of the glaciers, right? How does that get you "plowed under"? As for the possible interference by modern humans and such,. . . would not that same agent have destroyed all evidence of Folsom and Clovis as well? Regards bk
