Pre-Clovis Sites Part 2 - Ep 142

With the definitive dating of the “human” footprints at White Sands pushing back the earliest human occupation of North America to 21,000 to 23,000 years BP, we decided to take a look at several well known pre-Clovis sites. These sites are often controversial and heavily debated amongst archaeologists. We’ll discuss the findings from each site, why they are controversial, and what we think.

130k-Year-Old Arch Site with Dr. Steven Holen - Special Episode

Today's show is a joint episode from the Archaeology Show and the CRM Archaeology Podcast. We talk to Dr. Steven Holen, the primary author on a letter in Nature at the end of April, 2017 detailing a site from San Diego, CA with an apparent 130,000 year old archaeological site. It's a controversial find and we try to get into the science and figure out what's going on and where we go from here.

Please, leave your comments here or on Social Media but listen to the episode and read the paper. It'll really help inform you about the situation and the findings.
