If even part of the 13,000 ya dating is correct, this could have been before the comet extinction of north american development. That would explain a large gap between this and the next finds of civilization. Does anyone know what dating methodology they used?
The estimates vary by at least four thousand years, i.e., I don’t think *any* m method has been used. :’)
