ABSTRACT
This comment is a brief response to the opinion statement made by Politis and Prates in this issue of PaleoAmerica. Some of their errors and misunderstandings are corrected. We maintain that the psephites from Monte Verde-I and Chinchihuapi-I are allochthonous and cultural in origin.
Acknowledgements
We thank the editors of PaleoAmerica, especially Dr. Ted Goebel, for allotting us the space to discuss these issues.
