Using sophisticated underwater techniques, the scientists have mapped out a now-flooded route that could have provided an entry point into the New World during the last ice age." - illustrated - From Science News Online - http://www.sciencenews.org/20000205/fob2.asp

Mesa vs Folsom Lithic Technologies __ "At times, the variation between lithic technologies is understood to be the result of functional requirements. At other times it is argued to be a product of cultural change. The Paleoindian traditions of Mesa and Folsom were contemporaneous and both hunted bison. However, their lithic technologies were vastly different, as was their access to lithic material. This paper will argue that the technological differences are not functional or cultural, but are the result of proximity to the lithic source." There is little I can add. - illustrated - From Tony Baker and Michael Kunz - http://www.ele.net/mesa_folsom/mesa_fol.htm
