Hi nacom - Hard data rules - if Glacial Lake Aggasiz did not drain due to an ice impact ca 10,850 BCE, then I will have to look for another explanation for the Choctaw tradition. I do not have access to JSTOR through an academic account. Generally, I trade books with other researchers. Hi EP, Below...

Hi nacom - Thanks for your assistance. With any kind of luck I hope to get through those references before my return to the south. I hope to be able to document a nice ice impact before then as well, time and money permitting. It is not as though I am at Oxford or Cambridge and can just ask a libra...

Hi Nacom - Thanks for any help you can bring. The object here is to determine the impact rate: what hit, and when. Hard data rules; soft data may lead to hard data, and given the extreme resource constraints on that search, its use is necessary. I have extensive experience with Bronze Age myth mate...

Hi nacom - There were drainages of Glacial Lake Agassiz ca 13,000 BP and ca 10,000 BP: http://books.google.com/books?id=mj-hgKfzIzsC&pg=PA42&lpg=PA42&dq=Mississippi+River+13,000+BP+drainage&source=bl&ots=9cTG8_iABZ&sig=ojYWkswuZrEqvuTlEilpb1DT6e0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=aM...

If you would like to know what actually occurred, read/re-read and study well, all the links posted on the two discussions of mine on this forum. Given that you long ago demonstrated that you have precisely zero understanding of the topics at hand, there would be little purpose in reviewing matters...

Hi nacom - I am very careful in using Native oral materials. As far as the Choctaw go, you need to remember that unlike the Creek and Chickasaw, the Choctaw assimilated existing "Mississippian" populations as divisions within their nation. Either there is a flow from an ice impact ca. 10,...

It seems that every time I think I'm being clear, it turns out that I'm not. In this case, you've pointed out that such tools date, in North America, from the Paleo era on. And in Europe, from at least the earliest Aurignacian . Rather than rely on memory (and trusting Wiki -- in this case), the Au...

Thank You. It is. I've much less familiarity with the people's work from the eastern side of the pond than I wish I had. But within the limits of available time and $$, I do what I can while keeping up with developments on this end. Thus, you probably see specific details in what I see as a sweepin...

Hi Nacon You understood my response OK -- I just cited a bad example without checking further into it. :? As to your personal observation: Were such postulated sites as Calico or Hueyatlaco to be eventually confirmed, such confirmations would not necessarily indicate "yo-yo" evolution. Th...

And refreshing objectivity. For once. IOW, nobody really knows. The observation that preceded the link, I think, stands unaffected. My apologies for not fully understanding your response. As to the "spheres", these have been clearly demonstrated to be of natural origin. As to your persona...

It then necessarily accomodates a series of regressions and progressions in the same line of what now isn't development toward an outcome. "Evolution" that happens in a Yo-Yo trajectory is pretty hard to reconcile with the idea of gradual, (punctuated), incremental advance from simple to ...

Where have I confused 'topography' and 'stratigraphy'? It is YOU that apparently does not understand either! Given that psychological analysis is not a one of my fields of personal expertise, any responses to what has devolved into incoherent ramblings that reflect a notably ill-informed understand...

E.P. Apologies for the duplication. INTCAL 09 can be sourced at the below: http://researchcommons.waikato.ac.nz/bitstream/handle/10289/3622/Hogg%20Intcal09%20and%20Marine09.pdf As to the initial figure, this comes from a website that is not necessarily known for credibility (bibliotec). One of the ...

The NMFZ and the Embayment, due to their rather unique properties, have been the subject of many decades of qualified research and are surprisingly well understood. I believe this statement shows your inability to understand facts. The NMSZ is NOT "well understood". No one is even sure wh...
