Interesting read. So basically the larger the clovis the older it is according to the PHD's.

If you mean from finding them, I wish they did !

So basically the larger the clovis the older it is according to the PHD's.

As I read it, point size decreases over time (with some exceptions, like Agate Basin), but this is from different point styles being made (like Hi-Lo) rather than Clovis points shrinking in size.
