1. of course they were...

I'm thinking new dating and re-dating is eventually going to shift our whole bnarrative about these pre-historic cultures and their actual advancemants and technology. I'm a firm belilever that native north & south americans came via boat and other means, not just the land-bridge theory.

3. "came via boat and other means"

1, What 'other means' other than by foot or water are there?

2. There has already been written articles that they came by boat.

"Most archaeologists think the first Americans arrived by boat.
Now, they’re beginning to prove it.:

2. Totally fascinating

Might this be a harbinger of our current society's path toward de-evolution?

5. a further reason(ing) for abandoning

the technology (provided in the paper) is that there was very little 'functional' advantage involved in the copper tools (with some few exceptions) over easily made stone and bone replacements. i.e. - in practical terms, a stone arrowhead (axe or knife) got the job done equally well.

Still -- really interesting that this technology would be almost entirely abandoned. That's unusual. Kind of wondering if we aren't looking at displaced (or replaced) populations?

6. Have seen references to the copper mining in the Great Lakes area multiple times in recent years!

It's tremendous seeing your article, and actual tools created on this continent made with the copper. The timeline compares so well with what I've seen before, also.

The very idea copper tools made during that remote time is exciting. They are amazing.

Thank you, so much. It's a real spirit lifter finding your post, left of center.

An intriguing book which refers to this subject, among others, was
