The Clovis First theory has been undermined in the past few decades by human artifacts dated more than 1,000 years before the supposed Clovis migration, found as farflung as Chile, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The latest evidence to debunk this theory may come from the Gault site. In the dig site now covered by the big white tent, archaeologists took a core sample in 2007 and found something startling: what appear to be manmade stone artifacts that differ from Clovis technology. That could mean Gault was inhabited some 14,500 years ago, Gault School officials said.
“That would be the nail in the coffin of Clovis First,” said Collins, the University of Texas archaeologist who has been the site’s chief excavator.

Surely an understatement.
Did you notice in the comments section the poster who mentioned levallois finds in Indiana as well as Tennessee?

That would be Rick Doninger, he's a member of this forum.

That's why I mentioned it.
Or partly why. The other reason is that he only mentioned the levallois finds of Tennessee in this forum. I wasn't aware of levallois in Indiana until reading his comment on this linked article.
