When I used to write about archeology, back in the day, Mike Collins was one of my favorite interviews–not because he was easy to talk to (he wasn’t, especially) but because he was on the bleeding edge of the field, out there with the pre-Clovis theorists. So while I’m not entirely surprised that he cashed in his personal savings to buy 33 acres of the Gault Site, one of the best-known pre-Clovis digs in Texas–he does, afterall, live in an 1840s dog-trot cabin, one of the oldest dwellings in Austin–his personal resolve is nevertheless impressive.
