New artifacts suggest first people arrived in North America earlier than previously thought

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Stone tools and other artifacts unearthed from an archaeological dig at the Cooper’s Ferry site in western Idaho suggest that people lived in the area 16,000 years ago, more than a thousand years earlier than scientists previously thought.

The artifacts would be considered among the earliest evidence of people in North America.

The findings, published today in Science, add weight to the hypothesis that initial human migration to the Americas followed a Pacific coastal route rather than through the opening of an inland ice-free corridor, said Loren Davis, a professor of anthropology at Oregon State University and the study’s lead author.

“The Cooper’s Ferry site is located along the Salmon River, which is a tributary of the larger Columbia River basin. Early peoples moving south along the Pacific coast would have encountered the Columbia River as the first place below the glaciers where they could easily walk and paddle in to North America,” Davis said. “Essentially, the Columbia River corridor was the first off-ramp of a Pacific coast migration route.

“The timing and position of the Cooper’s Ferry site is consistent with and most easily explained as the result of an early Pacific coastal migration.”

Cooper’s Ferry, located at the confluence of Rock Creek and the lower Salmon River, is known by the Nez Perce Tribe as an ancient village site named Nipéhe. Today the site is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

ROTFLMAO!

He says in the future it ma be affected!So you have put up the argument that carbon dating IS a good method! THANK YOU!

The new study indicates that by 2020, the fraction of carbon-14 could drop to such an extent that radiocarbon dating will start to be affected.

This laboratory no longer performs K-Ar dating. However, when they did, their website clearly stated in a footnote that their equipment could not accurately date rocks that are younger than about 2 million years old “

"Debunked ?
I don't think so!"

CORRECTION: You don't think, period.

Read it for yourself:

"... recently science teams at the British Antarctic Survey and Reading University unearthed the discovery that samples of moss could be brought back to life after being frozen in ice.
The kicker ?
That carbon dating deemed the moss to have been frozen for over 1,500 years.
Now, if this carbon dating agrees with other evolutionary methods of determining age, the team could have a real discovery on their hands.
Taken alone, however, the carbon dating is unreliable at best, and at worst, downright inaccurate. ..."

ROTFLMAO!

An opinion written by an anonymous person!

You should talk to a professional about your delusions, and your misplaced trust in so-called 'science'.

“ou should talk to a professional about your delusions, and your misplaced trust in so-called ‘science’.”

Typical Marxist tactic. When you dont have the facts on your side GP personal by attacking the messenger.

Sounds like PROJECTION to me !
