TVs still out...in a minute here I'm gonna put a DVD in the desktop...I just miss the sound!
Well..to continue with the Ages....there's the Stone Age...the Bronze Age...the Iron Age...and then once the inventors got a hold of things...almost an Age for each invention!...but there's a mystery about the Clovis Points...brb!...
quote
Around 10,000 BCE, a new type of fluted projectile point called Folsom seems to emerge, replacing the Clovis-style points over much of the continental United States.

Time was inventions came more slowly...though projectiles were a popular thing then as now!...this following quote reminds me of a show on the evolution of bullets!...
quote
Dixon began to mix the anagenetic and cladogenetic models in his Bones, Boats, & Bison. He had Clovis disappear as it evolved into Folsom and Goshen. Subsequently, Folsom and Goshen disappear as they evolve into the several types of the Plano or late Paleoindian (1999:152). But, from a different perspective, he held fast to the anagenetic model. Clovis, Folsom and Goshen are thin-bodied projectiles. The projectiles of the Plano are thick-bodied. Dixon anagentically evolved thin-bodied projectiles into thick-bodied projectiles at the beginning of the Plano.

The film show at the Mono Lake visitor center ends with an Indian woman finding a spear head in a stream...and then returning it to where it lay...a kinda theme film of...take pictures and leave only footprints....but...were spear heads found hereabouts!?...brb..

The most recent find and possibly
the most important was made in Yo-
semite Valley, in a cave, about 100
yards along the trail to Yosemite
Falls from the parking lot. Here, in
the center of a small, nearly inacces-
sible room in the cave, an obliquely
flaked spear point was found on
August 2, 1951, by Mr. Ronald Smart

Well...that's nearby!!...brb....uploaded pic from same site..pdf
and worth readng!!
This point is a clue to how long the Valley has had visitors!
brb...
just to add to the ball of confusion...

Both the video Mysterious Origins of Man and the book Forbidden Archaeology, claim that artifacts found in the gold-bearing gravels of California provide convincing evidence of the existence of modern man in California around 55 million years ago. In the 1880's, they claim that gold miners found pestles, mortars, ladles, and spear points within Tertiary gravel deposits underlying volcanic rocks that cap Table Mountain within Tuolumne County, California. These finds were reported by both D. J. Whitney (1880) and Becker (1891).
quote
AbstractIn 1880, Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Natural History published The Auriferous Gravels of the Sierra Nevada of California, by Dr. Josiah D. Whitney, state geologist of California. In this book, Whitney documented extensive discoveries by California gold miners of advanced human artifacts and anatomically modern human skeletal in undisturbed Tertiary deposits. According to modern geological reporting, most of the discoveries occurred in Eocene river channels, capped by solid layers of Miocene latite several hundred feet thick. The discoveries attracted the attention of scientists worldwide, but were rejected primarily because they contradicted the then emerging Darwinian picture of human evolution. With the discovery of prehuman Pithecanthropus in the early Pleistocene of Java, a human presence in the Tertiary was considered theoretically impossible.

well..and a video to watch!..dvd can wait...brb...well..no!...just a bruhaha!...anyway...brb...
Well...it's on youtube!...and is playing now..Charleton Heston's "sound"...search google: Mysterious Origins of Man youtube
but I wanted to look up Yuma points...brb...well...the Valley point does look like a FolsomYuma point...and very close to the Clovis...
I think I'd faint if I just happened on an arrowhead!...I dont know if anything connects a modern man with an ancient man more than a projectile!!...just the thought that it was made and fashioned and used...a real treasure..then..and now.
