UNREAL CLOVIS FIND – LITERALLY: I have been a bit mum, a shortened form of mummified, on what’s now a beyond-huge news story about a young boy finding an ancient Paleo-Indian artifact in Beach Haven. I’ve been holding back because it is absolutely NOT an LBI-based artifact.

I’ll unhesitatingly go along with the young man’s find as being a bona fide Clovis point. I just guarantee it is a mainland artifact that somehow made it over here – and fairly recently to boot.
