Ancient BBQ in South Carolina? Mustard-based no doubt!

Actually the first were a unique tribe, sometimes called "freepers".

I'll search through the posts. Indo-european doesn't seem like a good fit for Gansu but the argument sounds interesting.
Yup Anatolia too although I lump that in with the southern Black Sea. The last article I read about that region said it was home to the first domesticated pigs. One things for sure the ancient Chinese definately had a thing for pigs.

"One things for sure the ancient Chinese definately had a thing for pigs."
A trait which some say is shared by a former POTUS.

"Fifty thousand years ago in a thunderstorm, lightning stuck an old tree trunk and caused a fire. Fifty thousand years later some pinheads find a circle of charcoal and make a great discovery that will change the world." A good possibility. The human artifacts around this site complicates that possibility though.

"I don't know about Indo-europeans being from Gansu Province. (Do you have a link for that?) " Click on my name and go to my bookmarked articles. There are some there about Caucasians in China, etc.

I'll be damned. I know Al Goodyear. Met him the first time when I took an arrowhead to him that I found while digging the foundation for our home ... and it turned out to be a Clovis point spearhead about 15,000 years old. I've run into him a few times since over on campus. He's a bit eccentric but the guy is a genius. He's been obsessed with finding proof of earlier civilization in SC and around the south for a couple of decades now ... The State Newspaper did a special front page feature on him about five years ago timelining his search and all the things he has found here ... that's what prompted me to contact him in the first place. He was really interested in my find and wanted to know where, how deep, what type of soil I found it in, etc.
The guy is going to find what he is looking for because he is relentless and he believes in what he is doing. He is methodical and he knows he is right. It's very interesting if you stop and think about it. A find along the lines of what he is looking for could very well change our notions about how evolution took place and the migration of humans into North America - it would be ground breaking, pardon the pun.

Goodyear seems like a good-guy. I hope he is prepared for the rentless pounding he'll take from the 'old-school' folks.

Most people who think carbon dating is "propaganda" are biblical creationists, trying to stuff their religion down the throat of science. Not a bad guess at all.

"Included were the remnants of several Re-Elect Strom Thurmond signs..."
That sent me clicking around to see how old he really was, and I discovered that in 1968, at the age of 66, he married a 22-year-old woman--44 years his junior.
Strom, you horndog!
