Good report, thanks. I notice they have the terminology correct, paleo-Americans and paleo-Indians.

I am acquainted with Dr. Dillehay. Before I got my current job, I worked as a research analyst (fancy name for a principal lab tech) at the University of Kentucky dept. of Forestry. One of my duties was identifying samples of obscure wood. Dr. Dillehay sent over a very strange object that he found at the excavation site at Monte Verde. It had the structural features of a fine-grained softwood, but appeared to me made of lead sulfate, or some other dense, dark metal or metal ore. I never could identify it satisfactorily.

Was this a natural or man-made object?

[Renfield]

It appeared to be natural, but I couldn't tell if it was "organic" vs "mineral". It may have been an example of wood whose atoms are replaced by metal...this happens often in nature, and I have a lot of ironstone fossils...but I don't know how it could have happened in the short time this object would have been in residence, about 14,000 years. This process normally takes many eons.

"This process normally takes many eons."

Maybe a human modified object that had already gone through the the mineralization process.(?)

I'm going to catch crap for this, but what if this is evidence of time travel and were just overlooking it?

Looks like your post did a little time travelling. The thread's two years old. :-)

(Time travel would confuse histnory no end, undoubtedly)
