Actually, the north atlantic was frozen over...so either they walked or land-hopped with small ships. They think the folks from Asia did the same thing. In Greenland and Newfoundland, there were Viking settlements. I am referring to a much earlier period. They Euros that came over would have been contemporaries with the Siberians that also came here. So the artifacts would have come with the Euro populations when they followed the herds or fished there way over.

How did those artifacts/methods get transmitted. I can see going over the Siberian land bridge, but there was nothing equivalent to that on the other side. Mind you dolls from the Viking Greenland settlements have been found in Inuit sites in the western Canadian Arctic. So something similar may have occurred. Some common place where the goods/methods were traded then retraded etc. On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 11:50 AM, Eric Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > > It's been interesting reading up on some of the Pre-Clovis stuff they have > found recently...that is shaking up some of the previous notions of how the > North American Indians came here and even bolstering some theories of a > concurrent migration from European populations as some of the technologies > mirror those found in France more than those found in Siberia. > > Eric > > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry C.
