Hadn't realized so much technology was lost after Clovis. Is there any evidence of bow and arrow technology at clovis sites? Points better suited to arrows than darts?

"There are no known depictions of water craft in Pleisotcene art, and no physical remains suggestive of navigation older than 10 500 year have ever been found. Thank you for that info. Depictions in art would be evidence. Still wondering about the earliest. Once you have sail power, you're goo...
