[Paul H.]

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,

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."
