If people were at Paisley 14,200 years ago, they had already been in the Americas long enough to have moved from the entry point in Beringia to Oregon — which implies an earlier entry.

But how much earlier, by which route, and through what specific dispersal pattern are questions that the Paisley evidence does not directly address.

The Paisley evidence does not establish a specific migration route.

The people who left the coprolites at Paisley Caves arrived in Oregon somehow, but whether they came by a coastal route, through the ice-free corridor between the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets, or by some other path is not determinable from the Paisley evidence alone.

The Paisley evidence does not establish the genetic identity of the pre-Clovis people in the complete sense that a whole-genome analysis would provide.
