I think the Solutrian theory is bogus and I'll tell you why. The Solutrians had the bow and arrow. The got it from N. Africa. If they had the bow and arrow, why didn't they bring it with them to the new world? Gary

Can you show a link with evidence of that? I searched and couldn't find anything confirming that statement.
Sure. Get a book called "Man the Tool Maker" by Kenneth Oakley. Oakley is (was?) a professor at a university in England. It's a small paperbook book and probably not expensive. Deals with Europe and N. Africa. My copy is loaned out presently. He says the Solutrians got the bow from the Amarans(?) or Amerians(?) (can't remember the spelling) in N. Africa, what is now Morocco. Once you have the bow and arrow, you ain't givin' it up. Sorry. Gary
That doesn't look like a Clovis from what I can see in that picture. Do you have more pictures?
That’s a killer for sure .....You gave the original to the landowner ? Man that would be hard to part with but a good gesture for sure.

I agree. It looks more like a knife with basal thinning. It doesn't have the concave base one expect to see with Clovis.
