have been found all over North America, they

chipped onto the faces, Clovis points, even
though named for the New Mexico site where

they have been found all over North America,

这题选A，OG上说B选项where 后面缺主谓，这点我同意。但我想问一下A选项主句如果改成“they
are named for the New Mexico site where first discovered in 1932.”还能不能对？因为与前面主谓相同，where从句能不能省略主谓呢？

footprintkp

they are named是一般现在时，如果where后省掉they were，则默认共享they are，那么就是where they are discovered in 1932
菜鸟愚见，欢迎指点

这貌似还真不能省略，谢谢啦~~~

指弹之水

前面although引导的条件状语从句Although named for the ...中其实是省略了they are，用一般现在是表示的就是一个general的通常的情况，所以这里they are 和主句Clovis points are spear points的主语谓语相同，可以省略they are。
而B中解释的缺少they were是因为，这里where引导的定语从句（这里应该算是个定语从句吧？？有点晕乎。。。）是前面although状语从句中的从句，所以如果这里省略主谓语的话，那么久会被理解为where从句的主谓语与前面although引导的状语从句的主谓语相同，即又与整个句子的主句的主谓语相同，那么就是they are了，结合后面的具体时间点in 1932，那么用they are理所当然的就错掉啦
