Clovis

The migration of Clovis to North America has always been under speculation; it’s easy for many to theorize that maybe the migration was facilitated by the migration of these huge animals during the ice age period. As a source of feeding and living, etc. most discoveries of Clovis are based upon excavations that associate them with the animals they hunted. Many believe the Clovis went out of extinction through change in climate. Climate change in Paleo-America focuses on temperature and…

warriors they were. Clovis was a go getter and he’d always go after what he wanted, Siagruis the king of Roman had a seat in the city of Soissons, so Clovis challenged him for it. (Gregory of Tours, History of the Franks, trans. Ernest Brehaut (extended selections), Records of Civilization 2, (New York: Columbia University Press, 1916).

Americans said that “The evidence was unequivocal,” Clovis sites, werere spread all over the continent, and “there was a clear association of the fauna with hundreds, if not thousands, of artifacts,” Goebel said. “Again and again it was the full picture.” Clovis points were first discovered in the USA in 1929 near a New Mexico town, archaeologists determined that the Clovis sites were 13,500 years old with the use of radiocarbon dating. The first Clovis points were found in ancient campsites…

hold of territory for the dynasty that his son, Clovis I, would create a few years later. It wasn’t until Childeric and his wife, Basina, Queen of Thuringia’s son, Clovis I, succeeded his father in the year 481 at the young age of 15 that the Merovingian dynasty managed to unite the other Frankish tribes under the rule of one king. Clovis managed to extend the power of the Merovingian’s in the year 496 by defeating Syagrius,…

belong to that of the Clovis complex populations (Waters and Stafford, 2007; Sanchex et al., 2014). However, this is debated by a number of authors who suggest there must have been human populations in the Americas before Clovis. Clovis culture archaeological sites are widely distributed around North America and are dated back to shortly after the last glacial maximum (Goebel et al, 2008). The timing of the colonisation and the geographical locus have led to the assumption that Clovis were the…

years ago. Weber, G. Cactus Hill site states that Lynn and Joseph McAvoy found charcoal from a fire pit in clovis hill from 15,000 years ago. On a lower level of Cactus Hill archaeologists also found found blade-type stone tools that appear to have been used for butchering meat and processing hides, but nothing resembling Clovis spear points. Dr. Dennis Stanford states that the Pre-Clovis people may have lived in the Eastern United States include the Meadowcroft rock shelter near Pittsburgh and…

inhabitants as early as 12,021 B.C.. However, the most widely accepted theory regarding early immigration to the Americas involves the Bering land bridge, a piece of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. However, the land bridge theory, or Clovis theory, dates back to only 10, 984 B.C., almost 1,000 years after humans have been known to occupy North America. Two alternate theories are called the “Monte Verde” and “Kennewick Man” theories, allow me to explain. Tom Dillehay, and American…

a land bridge between Siberia and what is now known as Alaska by foot about 11,500 years ago. The video Ice Age Discoveries: New Evidence states that these people were hunters. This video and the The New York Times claimed that these people were Clovis people. The land bridge occurred because of an ice age, and was located…

in the Middle Ages was through the conversion of kings. The Church proved extremely successful in converting various kings in the early Middle Ages such as the Frankish King, Clovis the first. According to Gregory of Tours, Clovis would convert if Christ showed his power and he emerged victorious from battle . King Clovis emerged victorious from battle and converted to Christianity on Christmas Day in 496 CE . The implications of this for everyday people were massive, for starters it…
