The Clovis Finds Are Not Two Million Years Old
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2017
Extract
In the October issue of this publication, Mr. Frank Bryan, geologist of the Seaboard Oil Corporation of Dallas, Texas, gives a new interpretation of the age of the associated archaeological and paleontological discoveries made at the gravel pit, between Clovis and Portales, New Mexico. In doing this he takes pointed exception to the interpretations already published. There cannot be the slightest objection to such a difference of opinion, but it can be sincerely questioned whether he is justified in making such a statement as the following, which appears in the opening paragraphs of his article: “We have, as a matter of fact, conservative archaeological field work being explained by a slipshod attempt at geological radicalism.”
