Maybe things like Skull Cave in Calaveras, CA and the taiga remains in Alaska and Siberia will finally get a look at.

I do California archaeology.

Tell me about Skull Cave, and why it should be looked at again.

You mean the Hardy Boys had it wrong??

Seriously, what is Skull Cave? That article from Archaeology about syphilis being a New World mutation of yaws was an eye-opener; I'm beginning to develop some interest in archaeology, after too many years of ignoring it.

Cheers!

You probably have more firsthand knowledge than me, but my understanding about Skull Cave is that there are geological depositions there that are about as old as the original Bering Strait hypothesis, about 10,000 yrs. before present. From what I’ve heard, it seems to resemble mass depositions of prehistoric creatures in other areas that seem to have been caused by some type of catastrophic event.

For buried treasure! Maybe that's where Long John Silver hid his loot.
