"As I recall the site was difficult to date because the ground had been disturbed and the layers of gravel distributed.  Last I heard there were a few potential dates for it, but never anything as old as the one that the graduate student had…"

To talk about current affairs in Au and NZ.It is also for friends of the Aussies and Kiwis to join in and learn what makes them both tick. Their lands. Their…See More

There does seem to be a lot of problems with the state of the ground at the site. One side argues that the tools were found under an unbroken layer of ash, the other that this is false. I suppose it's probably best to discount the site until or unless better information becomes available. I'm also a bit suspicious that the later reports on the site come from a man called Sam van Landingham, a creationist. I know this doesn't automatically discredit his views and I know he published a peer reviewed paper, but given the significance of this site to conspiracy theorists, it does seem a bit strange that both he and Steen McIntyre are hostile to evolution.

Hi Heather

I was just reading something you posted a while ago about the Hueyatlaco date controversy and I was wondering if you have been able to refute it since then. Of course I agree with you that we need to be careful about refuting it just because we don't like it.
