Based on the tools and remains that are rather similar in all of the Clovis sites, the archaeologists can see certain connections between the people who lived there many many years ago given that they used similar tools so they must have been connected somehow.

Archaeologists have long adopted field and lab methods for finding and preserving artifacts
of the past. They are, arguably, experts at data creation, curation, and reproduction.
Unfortunately, while information scientists have studied these methods to some
extent, they have yet to work collaboratively with archaeologists to understand the innovative
methods they adopt when working with rare and difficult to obtain artifacts.
We see the potential for collaboration between information scientists and archaeologists,
particularly when it comes to understanding how archaeologists describe and
manage data.
Although limited, previous work in the information field that focuses on archaeologists
has examined the use of metadata as a tool for archaeological collections as well
as their information behavior and interactions among themselves and between varying
stakeholder groups [6-8]. Huvila’s [6] study explored how archaeological reports act as
boundary objects between different groups of stakeholders. This study found that archaeological
reports function as boundary objects and point to issues of power and legitimization
among various stakeholders involved in the report. As Tysick [13]
