130k-Year-Old Arch Site with Dr. Steven Holen - Special Episode

Today's show is a joint episode from the Archaeology Show and the CRM Archaeology Podcast. We talk to Dr. Steven Holen, the primary author on a letter in Nature at the end of April, 2017 detailing a site from San Diego, CA with an apparent 130,000 year old archaeological site. It's a controversial find and we try to get into the science and figure out what's going on and where we go from here.

Please, leave your comments here or on Social Media but listen to the episode and read the paper. It'll really help inform you about the situation and the findings.
