Multiple hypotheses have been advanced for the geographic origin of the Clovis technocomplex. Several competing hypotheses are considered in relation to the distribution of Clovis caches. Clovis caching behavior is interpreted as a strategy for maximizing exploration and migration rather than an embedded strategy associated with an annual foraging round. Based on this analysis, it is hypothesized that the Clovis technocomplex may have originated along the North Pacific coast or south of the Cordilleran ice sheet in the Puget Lowland before rapidly spreading across the continent.

Clovis技术的地理起源：Clovis biface缓存的见解

对于克洛维斯技术复合体的地理起源，提出了多种假设。关于Clovis缓存的分布，考虑了一些相互竞争的假设。Clovis缓存行为被解释为最大化探索和迁移的策略，而不是与年度觅食相关的嵌入式策略。基于此分析，可以假设Clovis技术复合体可能起源于Puget Lowland的北太平​​洋海岸或Cordilleran冰原以南，然后迅速传播到整个大陆。
