I have not read everything writte...Dear Anonymous:<br /><br />I have not read everything written about Cactus Hill, so I'm not well qualified to answer your question, but I'll offer you some observations that may be helpful. In the 11 years since I visited the site, a number of articles on its chronology, stratigraphy, and taphonomy have been published. They make a fairly good case that the site has a pre-Clovis cultural layer preserved beneath the Clovis occupation. Unfortunately, the two layers are not especially well-separated, making them hard to distinguish. Much more work could, and should, be done at the site, but it will have to be very meticulous to yield helpful results. Also in the last decade we have learned much more about pre-Clovis culture in the Americas, and so it is perhaps easier to believe that Cactus Hill falls into that category. Thus, my view is that while the case for Cactus Hill as a pre-Clovis site could be stronger, nevertheless, the preponderance of evidence supports that interpretation.Clifford T.

I am currently studying the Cactus Hill site and whether or not it seems to hold up under scrutiny as showing clear evidence of pre-Clovis occupation. In your opinion, after visiting the site do you believe there is sufficent evidence to support this claim?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
