Aargh, I know some archaeologists are confusing and boring but our December speaker was a paleontologist and it's like translating a foreign language.

It could be so interesting - the guy found a mammoth skeleton on his vacation property with signs of it being a butchering site. Everything about is quite believable, except that the related dates came back at 37,000-years-ago.

Even with the video of his presentation I'm finding hard to get a handle on it.

Responses:

the dates for human settlement in the americas keeps getting pushed earlier and earlier, begrudgingly. so it would not surprise me if true -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 19, 22:49 2
- Oh, I know. I'm good with at least 21,000 years now and it was no more than 12,000 when I started in archaeology 30 years ago. - Meg Dec 19, 23:14 1
  - Did they specify that it was humans doing the butchering? It could just a easily have been Aliens, or Bigfeet, or Mothmen... -- nm - Ender Dec 20, 01:59
