Jesus, do you even bother to read my replies? It seems likely to me that there were multiple impacts - which ultimately will mean more samples to be sold. > If only you could refrain from your smug, > condescending assessments and understand that we > don't assume we are right in science. My hypothesis is that some people just want to pick a fight. The data seems to prove this to be a good working hypothesis. Thaddeus, It would help if you bothered to read my book before writing: please keep in mind that a good number of the top dealers and experts here on the list acquired copies of "Man and Impact in the Americas" in Tucson or when it first came out, and that some of them have even been able to wade through its pages and pages of tiny type, despite its focus on impacts instead of meteorites. > Read "INITIAL HUMAN COLONIZATION OF THE AMERICAS: AN > OVERVIEW OF THE ISSUES AND THE EVIDENCE" by Fiedel in PDF format: > http://radiocarbon.library.arizona.edu/radiocarbon/GetFileServlet?file=file:///data1/pdf/Radiocarbon/Volume44/Number2/azu_radiocarbon_v44_n2_407_436_v.pdf&type=application/pdf Thanks, sounds like a good read. There is no need to guess about the who and when of the migrations to the Americas. The mitochondrial DNA evidence is set out on page 35 of Man and Impact in the Americas. In the next edition, I hope to have additions for Savannah River DNA (Ocanachee, Yuchi); certainly the material evidence for their crossing will be set out in it. If the second edition is in color, perhaps I'll even be able to include a copy of the Cambridge world map of mitochodrial DNA haplogroups. > CLOVIS ASSEMBLAGES DID NOT COMPLETELY DIE OUT. WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING? Read my previous note at: http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/ce010702.html in particular the section entitled: A DISCONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT? I can't comment on your transitions in western lithics, not having examined them in detail. What can be stated with certainty is that the mitochondrial DNA evidence demonstrates beyond doubt that there were many survivors of the holocene start impacts. How they managed to do that is going to make a good story - parts of it are already given in their own words in "Man and Impact in the Americas (pages 39-44). On my most recent trip west, I spent what time and money I had visiting the observatories at Wupatki and Casa Grande and meeting with some people. > "Giant" and "tall" are two different words. If you want to know about the "Adena", before you write on them, read Man and Impact in the Americas, pages 64 et seq., in particular pages 206-207. E.P. Grondine Man and Impact in the Americas a great book - "Geopoetry" rages Paul ____________________________________________________________________________________ > > Sick sense of humor?
