Another recent posting about another site (Topper ) older and further south:

Al Goodyear And The Secrets Of Ancient Americans

"USC Professor Discovers 50,000 Year-Old (Human) Artifacts in S.C."

16,000 years?

Thats quite a bit before so called modern Indians would have crossed the Bering Strait.

But how many pickles could a prehistoric pickle packer pack?

Before many more years passed, both the Tainos and the Caribs (who were probably innocent of cannibalism)

That's from The First Americans at your link. I was a little shocked to read it. There may be great stuff elsewhere in the book, but that assertion is a Lefty, Christian-hating crock. It means the author essentially considers all Spanish eyewitness accounts of the Caribs to be lies. That's not a credible inference, since you'd have to assume that a number of witnesses besides Columbus were lying to their diaries about it. Cannibalism is horrifying from a civilized (normal) point of view, but bear in mind that it is extremely common among stone-age peoples.

I hope Prof. Adovasio's archaeological work on the 16,000-year-old barbecue is more reliable and less constrained by academic herd behavior.

Sounds like it has been very efficiently commercialized. In another 10K years there will be another observation platform overlooking it all. Period attendants will be wearing simulated Levi’s, khakis and psuedo-Nike shoes as they point out all the sites designed by 21st century humans to scam their neighbors.
