I was looking over the abstracts of the upcoming Paleoamerican Odyssey Conference, which Chase posted about recently in the show section, and I came across an illustration, which shows the Cinmar blade, the "laurel leaf" blade that appears on the cover of "Across Atlantic Ice" and which Stanford and Bradley propose is of Solutrean origin. The illustration shows 4 other bifaces in addition to the Cinmar blade, far left. Since elsewhere in the conference abstracts it is stated that 4 other bifaces have been found by commercial vessels on the continental shelf off the Mid-Atlantic, I surmise that this illustration shows all 5 bifaces found on he continental shelf. Does anyone know any details of these finds?. The illustration accompanies the abstract "North America Before Clovis: Variance in Temporal/Spatial Cultural Patterns" by Collins, Stanford, and Lowery.
