Forget the Nazca Lines! Huge Spiral Covering 100,000 Square Metres Found in India's Thar Desert May be Largest Drawing E...

Winning the prize for today's longest headline, Ryan Morrison describes an astounding discovery that only poses more questions. Chalk one up for poring over Google Earth imagery. Iowa State University proclaims that the Unexpected Discovery of Ancient Bones May Change Timeline for When People First Arrived in North America. The major find was literally "tucked away on the bottom shelf in a dark corner" of a laboratory. Andrew Somerville and collaborators believe "the first humans may have arrived in North America more than 30,000 years ago--nearly 20,000 years earlier than originally thought." This argument for earlier dating will not surprise some other anthropologist/archaeologists. Jason Colavito is disgusted as a Discovery Recycles the "Curse of Akakor". A wildly-strange, probable hoax becomes the basis for a borrowed short series by a major cable channel. On a lighter note, we close with Archaeological Research Shows Prehistoric Pendants Used in Dance. In a case of "research art imitating life," an auditory archaeologist danced for six hours straight to compare wear marks on modern elk tooth ornaments fashioned after Stone Age practice with elk teeth from four real Stone Age graves. They show "similar activity" and provided a near-hypnotic experience for University of Helsinki research team members. A 54-second audio/video experience is provided. Sounds good? (WM)
