. . . .Baring the possibility that there was some as-yet-undiscovered path through the ice wall, people could only hae migrated before 26,000 (to Americas) years ago or after 19,000 years ago. Currently the weight of evidence leans more toward the post-9,000-year side, but there are some sites in South America that have been recently discovered dates to as old as 30,000 years ago, which a couple of my archaeological colleagues find quite convincing. The footprints at the White Sands www.nps.gov/whsa/learn/nature/fossilized-footprints.htm Locality 2 site provide even stronger evidence (if their 23,000-to-21,000-year dates are accurate) that at least some people were in North America during the LGM. Depending on how early their initial migration was, the interior route may have been a plausible pathway for them. For the most part, however, the majority of my colleagues are skeptical of sites this old. . . . . Page 94

The White Sands Locality 2 site is a good illustration of this. At the time of this writing, the paper describing the site is just days away from publication (the authors kindly let me have in advance copy. By the time you are reading this book, the archaeological community will have extensively scrutinized and debated the evidence. Some will agree that this is a paradigm-changing site: concrete evidence of people in North America during the LMG. Others will find technical faults in the dates or stratigraphy of the site.. They will have more trouble dismissing the site as lacking evidence of humans, as the footprints are spectacular and unmistakable. ` Page 97
