But...but political correctness says that during that era of 10,000 + years ago, there’s not supposed to be any civilization there!!!
Seize that site, it is a sacred burial mound!Keep those rasis white men out!
Well, we are Seattle.
You know, ahead of the curve...
This is about two miles from my house. Cool stuff. It will be interesting to see if it shuts down the project, but even if it does, probably no big deal. They are “rehabilitating” the creek. 60+ years ago they had dredged it and straightend it to prevent flooding.
Now they are putting the bends back in a shipping in huge logs, stumps, etc. to reclaim it has fish habitat. They are pretty far along. If it was me and the natives gave me grief I would say “Okay boys, grab your gear and head home. Nature will take it from here.”
I hope they don’t. It would be cool if they could make some casts of the tools and have an interpretation trail. Or - keep the dig site exposed when they are done, and perhaps plant the casts on the site like they found them.
We went to a place in Montana with the kids, paid $40 and took a Jeep ride up to the dig and got to see all sorts of cool bones and stuff that they were digging out.
It’s about the same age as the Graham Cave site in Missouri, IIRC
No big deal. We have a 70-year-old Neanderthal tool in Blair House.
