       | It looks like this site fell out of use for a long time
       | immediately after the Younger Dryas bolide strike of BCE 10,816
       | that wiped out the Clovis culture along with 30+ genera of large
       | mammals, including horses, camels, giant sloths, dire wolves, and
       | mammoths, and deposited a layer of sharply platinum-enriched dust
       | and soot.
