Neat stuff Chancey! I always enjoy your posts! Thanks!

Google dr James adavasio, did the work at meadowcroft. Also has half dozen or so books out. Mostly centered around the initial peopleing and early sites. Couple years ago he was working under water in the gulf of Mexico, searching for habitated sites that are now well under water. Don't remember how deep they were but it was amazing to think the oceans we're that much lower, really hard to imagine.
His First Americans book, he talks about the heirarchy of the archeology world. And how a few men at the top skewed the perception and adaptation of early sites for years or decades really.
The man is fascinating and just brilliant, with no prejudice against new possibilities.

I always found the trade route theories interesting.Products from South America found in North America,and vice versa,like Lake Superior copper found in Mexico.Fascinating stuff from a stone age civilization.

With the knowledge of the existence of the underwater sites, how long have people been on this continent? My opinion is they don't really know. Apparently massive amounts of evidence could be either lost or just simply submerged.

He has been doing work in Florida on land, old site with I believe human remains. Lately I haven't been able to remember things very well.

From a few years ago. I went to the Mayan ruins at Copan in Honduras while I was deployed as a criminal investigator for JTF-B at Soto Cano AB.

Stone age as a term leads you to think those people were maybe less intelligent than modern people. They were modern humans just like us, with all our capacity's but a different environment and skill set.
The other thing that is hard to really grasp is the timeline, ten thousand years worth of occupation of the Americas. Lots of seemingly impossible or improbable ideas, are completely possible when you consider the length of time involved.

The archeology work being done in South America that shows possible human occupation ten thousand years prior to currently accepted dates of 14,000 years ago is really interesting. How would dates that old, have been that far south of the Bering land bridge. In all of South America, could one group of people, have stopped in one location, and that one particular location be discovered today. That in itself seems impossible, to find one singular spot on an entire continent.

Those carvings are unbelievable! Would love to know how in the world they carved that out of stone and what tools they used.
