Archaeology TubeThe Cerutti Mastodon site is one of the most controversial archaeological sites in the world. Purported to be 130,000 years in age, it has the potential to push back the timeline of occupation in the Western hemisphere by over 100,000 years. The site has been criticized widely by many archaeologists, some going so far as to call for its retraction from the journal Nature. In this video, I take a look at some of the peer reviewed literature on the site, break down the arguments of its authors and its detractors, and tell you what I think.
Special thanks to Marc Barkman-Astles @Archaeos0up (as Holen et al.) and Tristan J Boyle of archaeologypodcastnetwork.com (as Haynes) for their wonderful voiceover work.

We also discuss what's happened since the debate, our feelings about guys like Dan Dedunker, and where we go from here to promote quality science communication.
Apologies parts of the footage of my video were corrupted, so some long shots on Flint listening to me talk because of it. You didn't miss much, I promise.
