Do they know the Clovis culture went extinct, or do we know tool manufacturing technology suddenly changed?

I don’t think they went totally extinct. The next major culture on the scene was Folsom. They made fluted points too. I don’t think that’s a coincidence, it’s a long lasting tradition. And where do Cumberland fluted points fit into this? Lots of unanswered questions. Whether there was a cataclysm or not, Clovis culture died out. Suddenly or did they fade away? Hard to tell.

Actually the technology died out? Correct? Are they typing the “culture” to this particular flaking style or was there a large gap in time before sites began showing signs of habitation via. Carbon dating?

Interesting stuff

The Younger Dryas impact theory fits in perfectly with the sudden disappearance.
