The paper is:

Collard, M., B. Buchanan, M. J. Hamilton, M. J. O'Brien,
2010, Spatiotemporal dynamics of the Clovis?Folsom
transition. Journal of Archaeological Science. In Press,
Accepted Manuscript, Available online 1 June 2010
Abstract at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2010.05.011

The paper concludes:

"The results of our study clearly falsify the predictions of
the extraterrestrial impact hypothesis. Both the finding that
the northern Folsom sites are earlier than the southern
Folsom sites, and the finding that there is a hiatus between
Clovis and Folsom in the south of the latter?s range as
well as spatial and temporal overlap of Clovis and Folsom
in the north run counter to the predictions of the extraterrestrial
impact hypothesis."

Yours,

Paul H.
