This is not a popular or long lasting idea. Or a idea at all. Missoula dumped into the Pacific and several glacial lakes dumped into the Atlantic. I found 13 papers on Clovis transitions in the Great Lakes. Find me one where they suddenly disappeared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed you that you misread the paper. Why not just own up to it rather than shifting to a different and inconsequential argument? Quote I found 13 papers on Clovis transitions in the Great Lakes. Find me one where they suddenly disappeared. Let's stay on task. The Petaev et al study is not concerned with Clovis culture; it merely notes in passing that the YDIH has been evoked to explain the apparent rapid decline of the Clovis Culture. I understand that you dispute such a decline, but that is not what the study is about. I am asking what your thoughts are on the platinum spike, which is what the study IS about. As for the Clovis culture, I'd be happy to discuss that in another thread. I'm sure I could learn a lot about the topic from you, and I am interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were over 50 mega floods during the last glacier movement/period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula_floods hese floods have been researched since the 1920s. During the last deglaciation that followed the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, geologists estimate that a cycle of flooding and reformation of the lake lasted an average of 55 years and that the floods occurred several times over the 2,000-year period between 15,000 and 13,000 years ago. U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist Jim O'Connor and Spanish Center of Environmental Studies scientist Gerard Benito have found evidence of at least twenty-five massive floods, the largest discharging about 10 cubic kilometers per hour (2.7 million m³/s, 13 times the Amazon River).[1] Alternate estimates for the peak flow rate of the largest flood include 17 cubic kilometers per hour[2] and range up to 60 cubic kilometers per hour.[3] The maximum flow speed approached 36 meters/second (130 km/h or 80 mph).[2] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't presented your own opinion yet. My opinion is set in stone. No YDI. All the papers just show circumstantial evidence while stating the same bullcrap i.e. Clovis dieoff, megafauna dieoff, black mats on every Clovis site. There were no black mats over the Tom's River or Decou sites. Nor on the site of Wesscessit, which shows unbroken habitation up until the late 17th Century. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I supposed to have an opinion on a topic (YDIH) t that I've only recently started to study? I'm trying to get a handle on the debate and the evidence before I commit myself to an opinion. So, if you don't mind @Piney, I'd like to continue asking you questions in order to understand why you've reached the conclusions you've committed to. Unlike you, my mind is not made up. Quote All the papers just show circumstantial evidence while stating the same bullcrap i.e. Clovis dieoff, megafauna dieoff, black mats on every Clovis site. That is a sweepingly dismissive comment to make, and I'd like to better understand your reasons for saying it. Allow me to ask again: Why do you suppose that Clovis artifacts are found only below the black mat and are not found above it? Quote There were no black mats over the Tom's River or Decou sites. Nor on the site of Wesscessit, which shows unbroken habitation up until the late 17th Century. I can neither dispute this nor verify it. If you recall, just last week you alluded to these studies but then told me to read every paper on the subject in order to find these two studies you alluded to. Throw a dog a bone?

You previously agreed that Clovis artifacts are found only below the black mats, and I wanted to know what you make of this fact. Your response is to say that you don't care. It is an unfortunate pattern I'm finding in your posts, Piney. You've twice made claims about certain studies that you have refused to provide. Why is that? I (and others I've talked to) would love to know about this alleged Clovis site at Decou Pond. Why would a destroyed Clovis site or a herd of flattened mammoths be necessary in order to prove the YDIH? Can't an impact be determined by means of geochemical markers?

Quote The species also survived nearly to the end of the YDC, indicating that neither the rapid climatic change that initiated this interval(Shumanet al., 2002) nor the hypothesized extraterrestrial trigger for the YDC (Firestone et al., 2007) brought about the immediate extinction of the North American Mastodon I'm not sure what assumptions and reasoning has got you thinking that a YD impact would necessarily result in the immediate extinction of mastadon or any other megafauna, but such is not at all necessitated by such an impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piney Posted June 24, 2021 #200 Share Posted June 24, 2021 The Younger Dryas and Late Pleistocene Peoples of the Great Lakes Region. Quote The Late Pleistocene archaeological record of the Great Lakes drainage area shows that there were several, albeit spatially variable, changes in that record in a time period corresponding to the Younger Dryas (YD) climatic reversal at ca. 10,800-10,000 14C BP. Notable here are declines in some areas in the mobility of Paleoindian groups as measured by distance to the main lithic source employed, declines in the overall frequency of sites/findpots, particularly in the western Great Lakes where some northern areas seem to have been largely abandoned, and an increasing association of occupation locales with glacial lake shores or extensive wetlands left by recently drained glacial lakes. Some of the changes, as in range mobility, most likely relate to the colonization of new areas rather than directly to the YD. Specifically, the earliest groups were able to target rich, but widely dispersed, resource locales due to an absence of competing groups. However, the declines in locale frequencies and shifting distributions of those locales may be due to YD influence, notably to an eventual drying out of the area that resulted in less productive environments overall and made the lake shores and wetland areas more attractive environmental niches for human occupation.
