Abstract

ABSTRACT: We are indebted to C. Vance Haynes Jr for his careful reading of our 2017 report and for proposing alternative explanations for our field observations. In response, we consider each of the alternatives, present additional data, and find that our main conclusion – namely that some Clovis points in California may be of early Holocene age – does not require emendation in light of current knowledge.
