There was no ice-free corridor for the first North American
immigrants, but a coastal route is definitely a possibility.

And if we somehow lower the sea level 300 feet,
we'd probably find LOTS of evidence of early travelers.

Not from that period. 300 feet lower sea level aren't correct figures for
period after 7th century. Actually 300 feet lower sea level was correct for
early Bronze Age more than 3500 years ago. What you have to look at in the
ice-free corridor which actually existed for a short period isn't a fixed
waterlevel. (Erik H doesn't know what he is talking about.) The landrise in
western NA, in the middle and in the eastern NA never was the same. For the
western NA you in some areas will have to look above present waterline to
find the settlements of 7th-9th century. Compare with same situation along
the Norwegian coast mentioned in excavation report by Hagen and other.

I don't think they are discussing any part of the bronze age but at

least 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

I think some stuff has already been found along the coast.

I don't remember where I saw this. First guess would be a NOVA program,
second would be a SciAm article. Surely 2-3 years ago, maybe even longer.

Sea level 3500 years ago was about 5 metres (16 feet)
lower than at present, not 300 feet (90 metres) lower.
This is true for the south coast of North America and for
the east coast of North America, too.

Well, maybe, but be careful jumping from "possibly" to "probably".

One of the aspects that I find most interesting about this problem
is what it says about the development of technology. Archaeology
tends to focus on stone tools and (later) pottery, because those
are what has been preserved, but is isn't at all clear whether they
were even major components of the contemporary technology.

The Inuit would have NO difficulty in migrating down that coast,
but it is hard to see how any population could without a fairly
advanced technology. And yet the common belief is that humans of
the relevant era didn't have one - certainly not up to the level of
the Inuit. But was this right?

Indeed, how advanced was the technology 100,000 years ago? Or even
1,000,000? And how much difference was there between human species?
A fascinating set of questions :-)

Don't forget fire hearths and camp sites. There are some new and
exciting digs being reported on.

Cause 1)They (the Inuit) would have been following their food sources
and, at some stage when the food source becomes scarce, would have
forced them to move onto new hunting grounds.
Cause 2) Population pressures would force the existing populations
into new areas

finds of Homo Sapiens should be of some interest to you as to the
possible date of Sapiens in the area.....
40,000 ybp Modern humans (Homo Sapien Sapien) reached southern Siberia

My point of amusement is that people (in the high Arctic) are quite
used to travelling over ice to hunt.
And all their weapons were the result of a long and tested
tradition... if it didn't work people died..
