The whole midwest looks as if it is having a rough spring.
Meanwhile, I have a friend in Charleston, SC who reports that it is dry as bone there and throughout the south. Good news for the Topper dig, I guess.

If Gault, Buttermilk Creek and Brushy Creek hold up under scrutiny then that will be 4 preClovis sites within a 20 mile radius.
Do all of them have the same kind of high quality flint and chert?

Sure do. And each also has spring-fed creeks, plenty of small to large sized game, abundant nuts and berries, fish/ turtles/ shellfish, plentiful wood resources, and a temperate climate. Also, each is within a day's walk of the others. So, assuming they were inhabited at the same time, there were other clans with which to intermarry.
It would be a resource worth controlling, that much is certain.
