Clovis People

I’m Ann Kellen with Science and Technology Today. The conventional(1) theory is humans first came to the America’s across the land bridge from Asia about 11,500 years ago, the so-called Clovis people. But the discovery of a site(2) 1000 years older in South America raised questions and started archeologist【考古學(xué)家】 Michael Collins on a quest(3) to find evidence(4) of pre Clovis people in North America, Specifically(5)in Belle County, central Texas.

“We see hints(6), whispers that maybe there are some earlier cultural remains(7) there , can’t say it for sure yet. ”

What Collins has found is an artifact(8) rich site where Clovis people apparently(9) returned again and again.

“Which is different than the usual idea of nomadism【游牧生活】.”

Clovis’ occupation(10) is marked by spear【矛;魚叉】 points and one of the best materials for making those spear points is the stone found at the Texas site.
