Abstract

Towards the first half of the 20th century, there was a boom of the interest of learning about the origin of American man, due to the findings in the southern United States, which were the basis for the typologies and lithic industries of the Clovis and Folsom types, taking them as the oldest evidence on the continent, used in the same way as a wall with which each new finding to which a corresponding or higher age was attributed should be compared, denigrating almost all those who were supposedly older, however the new evidence, and the discoveries of the last 40 years, debates about the current functionality of the Clovis model (Late Entry to the American continent), have resulted in the proliferation of other models more in line with the current evidence, which has shaken the Clovis Barrier
