pstp anthro "The Marmes Rockshelter (also known as (45-FR-50)) is an archaeological site first excavated in 1962,[3] near the confluence of the Snake and Palouse Rivers, in Franklin County, southeastern Washington. This rockshelter is remarkable in the level of preservation of organic materials, the depth of stratified deposits, and the apparent age of the associated Native American human remains. The site was discovered on the property of Roland Marmes, and was the site of the oldest human remains in North America at that time" , http://www.archaeology.wsu.edu/county... , Paleontology: The Man They Ate for Dinner http://www.time.com/time... , 12 -31 sort http://iceagefloods.blogspot.com/2008...

Humans, who are believed by the apes to be unable to talk, are considered vermin and are hunted for sport, killed outright, enslaved, or used in scientific experiments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... 10 -31 http://friendfeed.com/citizen... - Thomas Page

The excavations at the site revealed evidence of human occupation from a period that lasted 8,000 years,[12] and that the area was home to humans as long ago as 11,230 years ago.[13] The people living at the site hunted game such as elk and deer using atlatls, and also hunted smaller mammals such as beavers, while they gathered mussels from the river.[14] The excavation turned up graves, which included beads carved from shells and spear points. One grave, that of a child, held five matching knives made of stone.[15] The excavation also turned up chalcedony and chert arrowheads. Those in the upper layers were made of agate, which is not found in the area.[16] Stone tools were found as well, such as scrapers for use in tanning hides, and mortars and pestles.[17] In layers dated to 7,000 years ago, large amounts of shells belonging to a snail of the genus Olivella were found, which would have been imported from the West Coast of the United States, 200 miles (322 km) away. The majority of the shells had holes drilled through them, indicating that they had adorned necklaces.[17] In addition, one of the five known Jefferson Peace Medals was found associated with the most recent human remains at the site, evidently having been given to a local Native American leader (presumably of the Nez Perce) during the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This medal has since been returned to the Nez Perce and reburied, as per Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act regulations.[18] Analyzing the pollen sequences at the site showed a steppe ecosystem immediately following the retreat of glaciers 13,000 years ago, which gave way to a mixed forest of pine and spruce, which led in to the current sagebrush prairie ecosystem.[19] - Thomas Page

Stone spearheads and human DNA found in Oregon caves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , anthropologists say, have produced firmer evidence that these are the oldest directly dated remains of people in North America. They also show that at least two cultures with distinct technologies — not a single one, as had been supposed — shared the continent more than 13,000 years ago.

Did a Comet Really Chill and Kill Clovis Culture? http://www.space.com/20017-d... ~ Almost 13,000 years ago, a prehistoric Paleo-Indian group known as the Clovis culture suffered its demise at the same time the region underwent significant climate cooling known as the Younger Dryas. Animals such as ground sloths, camels and mammoths were wiped out in North America around the same period. ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 3 -24 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://www.clevelandleader.com/node... , 8-9 sort http://phys.org/news... - Thomas Page

Kennewick Man http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... is the name for the skeletal remains of a prehistoric man found on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington, on July 28, 1996.[2] It is one of the most complete ancient skeletons ever found; bone tests have shown it to date from 7300 to 7600 B.C.[3] A stone projectile was found lodged in the man's hip bone. His anatomical features were quite different from those of modern Native Americans and his relationship to other ancient people is uncertain. - Thomas Page

History Channel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ,BS Reality (ethical?) http://rationalwiki.org/wiki... http://rationalwiki.org/wiki... Episode 13 of series 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... started out promisingly, exploring the circumstantial evidence that there may have been early Polynesian contact with Mexico and wider Mesoamerica. This would mean people in terrifyingly small boats crossing huge expanses of water by skilled navigation to trade sweet potatoes and stuff, quite possibly pre-Columbus. America Unearthed instead cooked up a sinister, titular "conspiracy" about a dodgy spearhead that was found without archaeological context in 2009. It went on to try and link Polynesian culture with North America via Kennewick Man. Wolter appeared to succeed in establishing this link, meaning that, since Kennewick Man carbon dates to 7600 BCE, Polynesians were apparently visiting North America from Polynesia well before they are believed to have lived in Polynesia.[4] And "The Spearhead Conspiracy" was one of the better-researched episodes.
