Talk:Meadowcroft Rockshelter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I ran this article past Mark A. McConaughy (see links to his page in article), and included his edits. This is what he provided specifically about the dates:
"Radiocarbon dates from the site indicated occupancy as early as 14,000 B.C. and possibly as old as 17,000 B.C. (Note: these are rough uncorrected radiocarbon B.C. dates, or 16,000 years ago and 19,000 years ago for the two listed dates - you can choose which set of dates to use, but I would prefer the 16,000 and 19,000 year ago since it is more correct in terms of how the dates are cited.)"

I missed this page, searching for Meadowcroft Rockshelter, so I wrote a new article for Meadowcroft Rockshelter. We probably should merge these two articles. There's good material in both. The main discrepancy are the dates, which are the controversial part. The name should probably be "Meadowcroft Rockshelter". A Google on that term results in 10,900 hits. A Google on the more sensical, "Meadowcroft Rock Shelter" results in only 571 hits. The closest to an official site is Meadowcroft Museum, which uses the "Rockshelter" version.

No one disputed the merge, so I merged the two pages, and put a redirect at the Meadowcroft Rock Shelter. Tomcool 17:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
