As you said, findings are coming so fast it is hard to adsorb all the information. I am awaiting the publication of a joint Thai/French excavation of a rock shelter near Chiang Mai of about 25,000 years old. One might wonder if it and the Puebla site are both of "Austrailaian" origin???
Poor chap . . . killed by SUVs.
Scripture tells us that mountains rose and valleys dropped during Noah's flood. I suspect that because of the "violence that filled the earth" God desired to hide or destroy most of the prevaling "culture". Thus I'm not too surprised that we find settlements under the sea.
I question the dating though. I bet the bones are no older than 7000 years. And the difference in the carbon ratios has another explanation such as the modern level of carbon is not an adequate assumption for 7000 years ago, and/or contamination or leaching.
There's a good possibility.
I've done a search on the ancient rice found in Sakai Cave but I came up empty. Have you found anything on this?
... Appears To Be Remains of Kerry Campaign
I have heard nothing but the report is published and I will pick it up in a couple of weeks when I get to Chiang Mai. As I recall, the "powers that be" have resisted the findings of domesticated rice in Spirit cave near Lampang so they are perhaps being very careful. Hoabinhian sites are often downgraded in importance by the Chinese for obvious reasons.
Yeah. The big deal Global Warming is small potatoes compared to what has already happened since just 12,000 years ago.
Let me know what you find out.
also, I am curious if the SEA part of your screen name stands for South East Asia?
Correct! I was in Chiang Mai in November, 2000 when I singed up on Free Republic so SEA for South East Asia seemed appropriate. Now I have to give yours some thought!

and after further examination, the skeleton was found clutching John Kerry's original Silver Star Commendation.
