Substantial archaeological and genetic data suggest that the initial occupation of Americas is more complex diverse than previously thought. As evidence for multiple patterns and/or adaptive strategies in distinct areas western hemisphere emerge, terminology remains incoherent. Most terms are applied arbitrarily, incorporate “Clovis,” or refer only to single populations not chronological period. We argue inclusion “Upper Paleolithic” any reference concerning Last Glacial Maximum occupations...

Archaeological excavations at the Gault Site (41BL323) have revealed an almost complete stratigraphic record of prehistoric occupation Central Texas (Collins 2002, 2004). Furthermore, ages obtained from Area 15 site confirms good agreement between diagnostic artifacts, cultural horizons, and units (Rodrigues, et al. 2016; Williams, 2018). This includes some earliest evidence for a projectile point technology in North America (Williams, Like many areas Texas, combination water, raw materials,...
