For more than sixty years, the prevailing scenario of the peopling of the Americas envisioned Clovis mammoth hunters walking access a temporary land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska at the waning of the last Ice Age. Now, new data from the Southwest and elsewhere is challenging this model.      
Archaeology Southwest Vol.14 no 2, reexamines the greatest mystery in American Archaeology, starting with broad perspectives, and then focusing on evidence from Southwestern Sites.

As a supplement to the Spring 2000 issue of Archaeology Southwest, Dr Jonathan Mabry has compiled a set of resources for further study concening the topic of peopling of the New World.
