This documentary has probably been around the block a time or two, but it was new to me. I thought that some might be interested.

Thank you for that.
They might have been a bit fanciful on re-creating the story but certainly not on the identification of the piece of metal. I found bits of flint (ie arrowhead/spear tips) and the remains of a birchbark canoe north of the treeline (north of Yellowknife, NWT) 20 years ago. Usable birch bark (and probably the entire boat) had to have come from 1000 miles (minimum!) further south and similarly so do desirable types of flint. There was already extensive trade amongst indigenous peoples right from the get-go (ie 15000 yrs ago) and desirable goodies such as metal must have travelled long distances and in very short order.
 
Great post. I enjoyed it very much. A few problems in the film but they can be overlooked.

Half way through I had to stop watching, it just seems like a bunch of scripted BS.

Takes quite a bit of doing with small budgets using actual people (ie non-actors) on camera to recreate seemingly-ordinary museum-type events so as to keep a viewers interest. That topic is dull and dry for most anyone that requires instant gratification or constant action. If you perceived what I call 'a nicely crafted story' merely as scripted BS then I'd love to hear your personal take on federal government budget forecasts.
