Hmmm the archaeology class I took failed to mention any such theory. Granted, we covered Clovis points mainly on the way to the Anasazi, but the class was multidisciplinary and taught by a professot that liked these sorts of theories, so you'd think he'd mention it if it were accepted. He certainly made much of the seashells and parrot feathers that were found at Chaco canyon....
On the other hand, I was taught (in an astronomy class) that life probably began as a result of a lighning strike so the guy with the salt water may be on to something.
