A remarkable series of several dozen European-style stone tools, dating back between 19,000 and 26,000 years, have been discovered at six locations along the US east coast. Three of the sites are on the Delmarva Peninsular in Maryland, discovered by archaeologist Dr Darrin Lowery of the University of Delaware. One is in Pennsylvania and another in Virginia. A sixth was discovered by scallop-dredging fishermen on the seabed 60 miles from the Virginian coast on what, in prehistoric times, would have been dry land.
The similarity between other later east coast US and European Stone Age stone tool technologies has been noted before. But all the US European-style tools, unearthed before the discovery or dating of the recently found or dated US east coast sites, were from around 15,000 years ago - long after Stone Age Europeans (the Solutrean cultures of France and Iberia) had ceased making such artefacts. Most archaeologists had therefore rejected any possibility of a connection. But the newly-discovered and recently-dated early Maryland and other US east coast Stone Age tools are from between 26,000 and 19,000 years ago - and are therefore contemporary with the virtually identical western European material.

Another twist in the Solutrean/Stone Age Columbus saga, just as the evidence had turned so strongly against the theory.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is this article is a too narrow interpretation, resent finds like Cactus Hill have already clearly overturned Clovis First, so to put up another Clovis First style theory called Solutrian First seems rather naive. Just like with the years before Clovis First was disproven, archaeologists had been finding older stuff for decades, nowadays there are plenty of older finds that predate these suggesting even if the Solutrians did indeed come, they were by no means the first.
