Radiocarbon Dating and the Paleoindian Era

[uniface]

Since wranglings over this have broken out in a couple of threads, rather than lengthen the threads they came up in and steer them sideways, I suspect that anyone up for some heavy duty data crunching will find the link below interesting indeed.

The problem with radiocarbon dating that nobody talked about was that some of the Paleo site dates were just all over the place. Atomic testing had nothing to do with this, since the amounts of radioactivity generated could be calculated and allowed-for, and could hardly affect buried material anyhow. Something else was skewing the radiocarbon -- something that could push the RC date of a Paleo site into the Late Archaic time frame.

Even more strangely, this distortion correlated with geography. It was most severe in the upper midwest, tapering off with distance from it.

Rather than spoil it for you, put on your thinking cap, dig in, and enjoy

I cannot comprehend dating anything on earth as "millions" of years old. Sorry. Most things degradable last less than 50 years. Others are in climates that preserve them, even maybe thousands of years, beneath the ground.

Millions of years? Entirely too far in time for me to understand. Sorry.

Decades, to centuries, to milliniums (sp?), to tens of thousands, to hundreds of thousands, to millions. Too far for my reach. Not saying it can't be so, but too much has happened in the last 4000 years that we know of, to start stretching things to "millions" of years.

Have you heard about the dude in Wv who found all these ancient artifacts in coal seams in Wv? He claims some of these 4 dimensional artifacts are so complex that they cant be duplicated by modern man. He uses the pangea theory to tie it all together, convincing?, no, but somewhat interesting I guess. The stone stuff looks like geofacts to me.

interesting stuff thirty7,the pangea guys are reaching way out there other than the bell found in coal.that does make you wonder.the giant skeletons where did they go??

Yep silly until you see them in collections with coa's attached to them and then shown on T-Net.
