Why Is David J. Meltzer Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, David Jeffrey Meltzer is an American archaeologist known for his influential studies of Paleoindians and Pleistocene mammalian extinction. According to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, his research on Paleoindians' "varied adaptive strategies has forced a revision of the received wisdom that Pleistocene people were exclusively big-game hunters or were responsible for Pleistocene mammalian extinction."
