ARCHAEOLOGISTS SAY HUMANS MAY HAVE COME TO TEXAS EARLIER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT

[From the Texas Standard, about the Gault site; a picture of  arrowheads from several layers below Clovis:]

“Right now we find no other technology that looks like this assemblage,” Williams says.

 [PWAX says: really? You must not get out much. Those are the typical shapes of arrowheads from North Africa. This one is from Niger.]
[By the way, it looks like there are some Clovis precursors over there too. Or maybe they came from the US first?]

    I know I am ignoring details. For that matter there are similar points found in other places in Texas - according to the internets.

    These look like Early Archaic Eva points to me. Curious that they should be stratified below Clovis at Gault, but maybe there has been some soil disturbance?
