Archaeological support for this theory is based mainly on similarities observed between Clovis artifacts and those of the Solutrean Period of prehistoric Europe.
Solutrean and Clovis cultures are also separated by many thousands of kilometers, most of which is ocean, and by 5,000 years.
The Solutrean period ended more than 16,500 years ago, while the earliest Clovis site is only 11,500 years old.

In the Upper Paleolithic period Neanderthal man disappears and is replaced by a variety of Homo sapiens such as Cro-Magnon man and Grimaldi man. This, the flowering of the Paleolithic period, saw an astonishing number of human cultures, such as the Aurignacian, Gravettian, Perigordian, Solutrean, and Magdalenian, rise and develop in the Old World.
The hunters of the Solutrean phase of the Upper Paleolithic entered Europe from the east and ousted many of their Aurignacian predecessors.
The Solutrean as well as remnants of the Aurignacian were replaced by the Magdalenian, the final, and perhaps most impressive, phase of the Paleolithic period.

Template:Seemain From 35,000 to 10,000 years ago (the end of the last ice age) modern humans spread out further across the Earth during the period known as the Upper Palaeolithic.
After the arrival of the first modern humans (Cro-Magnons) in Europe a relatively rapid succession of often complex stone artefact technologies took place during this period, including the Châtelperronian, Aurignacian, Solutrean, Gravettian and Magdalenian.
The Americas were colonised via the Bering land bridge which was exposed during this period by lower sea levels.

However, Europe may have possible lithic precursors to Clovis.
The Solutrean culture of western Europe, dating between 24,000 and 16,500 years ago, shows a similar lithic technology to that used to produce Clovis tools.
The two cultures also share bone-shaping techniques, pebble-decorating artistry, the unusual tradition of burying stone tools in caches filled with red ocher, and other traits.

The ongoing efforts by Dr. Dennis Stanford to connect the Old World Solutreans to the New World Clovis culture is a fascinating exercise in critical investigation.
I fail to see how a constellation-as-animal tradition would be necessary for either of Stanford’s routes and hope Rappenglueck isn’t just warming up for a career in fantastic claims.
Rappenglueck recently announced his discernment of the stars of the constellation Orion on a carved piece of mammoth tusk which has been dated to c.
