      Paleoindian tools have been found that are made of stone found elsewhere, sometimes hundreds of miles away. At present, archaeologists believe Paleoindian people obtained the stone by traveling to its source rather than trading for it. It may be that trade requires at least some permanent settlements, and Paleoindian groups moved from place to place too frequently.
