OSU archaeologists, on Idaho dig, find oldest known projectile points in the Americas - KTVZ
Update:
It is sad that so much focus is applied to Clovis but to few other prehistoric cultural expressions. I note that a certain type of stemmed point was nearly universal in the US, but goes un-named and never achieves the level of interest of Clovis. But the Clovis "narrative" has a combination of beautiful lithic technology and a compelling bit of nonsense about man sweeping across the continent, eliminating the megafauna along the way. With a firm belief in the dating of Clovis and a simplistic answer to the tough question of America's prehistory, it is a great story. As long as someone is still telling it, it will remain with us.
