Have Solutrean artifacts even been found in Central or Southern America? I thought they were pretty localized.

Anyway, I think that statement in the op is off the wall.

I dont think Solutrean artifacts have ever been found in Central or South America, but ill look into it to make sure.

"Stanford and Bradley, in their book "Across Atlantic Ice," make a variety of claims in support of the Solutrean hypothesis. Among these are the connection between the Clovis culture and several artifacts found in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Delaware. In addition, they have been able to carbon date many new findings from the Delmarva Peninsula in Maryland to between 26000 and 19000 BC, which is contemporary with the period in Europe during which similar artifacts were being made. According to their book, no materials from before 15,000 years ago, of any make or cultural bearing, have been found on the West Coast near where the first Siberian ancestors of American Indians first arrived."

No artifacts have been discovered in Mexico, Central or South America belonging to the Solutreans. The quote above is where all the artifacts have been found and even those are being disputed by experts (Archaeologists, Anthropologists, Genetic researchers...etc)
