The team discovered that the six hearths at El Salt were created over a period of 200 to 240 years, with gaps of decades or even a century between their uses.

This pattern suggests to me that wandering bands of Neandertals rediscovered the site and put it back into use, from time to time.

Gaps of "decades or even a century" over about 220 years indicate it wasn't used very often.

What a misleading title! I was expecting some new Paleo dating techniques.

Paleo dating techniques:

Meat eating dinosaurs shouldn't date and marry vegan ones.

I once went on a dinner date, a friend’s wife wanted me to meet her friend. My friend picked a steakhouse to his wife’s dismay as her friend was a vegan. Awkward.

I simply couldn't court a woman who disses God's Genesis 1:29-30 plan for eating.

In the comics, the paleolithic dating technique was to hit women on the head with a stone club and drag them back to your cave by the hair. I’m not sure if this still works, but it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try.

What a misleading post. They did use a new techique.

[SunkenCiv]

Nonsense.

[Bob434]

the techniques were pretty simple- male takes club- knocks out female, drags to home cave- keeps hostage till she accepts the man

then, on reverse Tuesdays, the women get to club men for no apparent reason

What, dating techniques or dating techniques?

[SunkenCiv]

Your post.

It was posted as nonsense, but on reflection, I think it’s satire.

[Albion Wilde]

When the headline said “New dating technique”, I was expecting something a little less paleolithic...

Ketolithic?
