> In many part of Europe you can find archaeology

In the US the layer of soil where Clovis man was found has been used to determine a lower limit of where we can expect to find artifacts. But in many construction discussion groups you can find plenty of talk about stuff that has been found far deeper than the Clovis layers. Human civilization is far far older than we are led to believe.

for context, a pre Clovis society wuold mean that human came before the 13k yrs ago mark, the problem is ths the bering strait and a giant ice sheet in NA are believed to have been traversable 14k yrs ago and 40-50k yrs ago. if true, it would meand that human came to NA 40k yrs ago or that there were other ways to come to the new world. A bold theory is that polinesians/Austronesian "could" have developed some sea faring tecnique before tha proven date of 1100s AC.
