The widespread consistency of the technique across such a large geographic area implies either a single origin for the technology or the rapid transmission of the technique across a network of connected communities.

The stone tools at Bluefish Caves that produced the cut marks on the horse and caribou specimens are not Clovis technology.

The occupants of Bluefish Caves during the Last Glacial Maximum were not Clovis people — they predate the Clovis horizon by roughly 10,000 years.

What technology they used is not well-documented at the site: the lithic assemblage from Bluefish Caves includes some stone tools, but the assemblage is small and its interpretation is uncertain.

This is important for understanding what Bluefish Caves tells us about the Clovis debate.
