Thank you for another long list of interesting links.

Regarding the climate 11k years ago, that would be at the end of the millennia+ years of the Younger Dryas cold spell. This followed the extraterrestrial attack on the Northern Hemisphere, around 13k years ago. The space rocks that fell at that time wiped out the Clovis culture, and probably resulted in the die out of the large mammals which early Americans have been accused of killing off. The weather at that time was probably much colder and wetter, and not conducive to grape culture.
