Dennis Stanford's evidence in support of the Solutrean Hypothesis deals with the style of tool being fashioned in Spain/France and what was later termed the "Clovis" style of point found in Clovis, New Mexico as an archetype. Repeated pressure flakes are removed from a core making it thinner and with a characteristic flute removed to enable attachment to a shaft.
The precursor of such flaking appears in Solutrean points but in Siberia where the Bering-strait adherents insist we originated the style of tool in use was called "micro-blade"

and frankly could not be more different from the clovis style of point.
