Stan, some good-ol’ boys in Kelso, Tennessee gave me these bifacial points when I stopped there on my way home from the CofCC meeting in Sheffield, Alabama in June this year. They had hundreds of points laid out all over the desk of their Kelso Kayaks office on the banks of the river there, which is where they found them. Their favorite place to hunt for them is on a rise near the river that they call “Chip Hill” because there are so many paleo chips from flint-knapping there.

When I was halfway through telling them the Solutrean Hypothesis story, they were so happy about this new discovery that they called their buddies up and told them to get down to the river to hear the same story before I left.

This surfer girl is a cousin to the Solutrean people who crossed the Atlantic 19,000 years ago.

A few minutes after I snapped this photo of this Solutrean Lass, she loaned me her big board, and I headed out into the surf myself. Solutreans have all the fun.

The pathbreaking new science of the Solutrean Hypothesis is explored in the pages of http://www.solutrean.org.
