The 13,000-Year-Old Man Found On A California Island — And The Dating Test That Changed The Story Of America’s First Migration
This person is one of an unknown number of individuals who were alive on the terminal Pleistocene California coast.
The others are invisible.
Their campsites are under the Pacific.
Their bones, if any were preserved, are on the continental shelf.
Their stone tools, their hearths, their food remains — everything they left near the shore — is drowned.
The documentary record of terminal Pleistocene coastal California has been comprehensively erased by the rising sea.
Arlington Springs survived because it is inland.
The person whose bones were found there died or was deposited in a canyon context that was elevated above any subsequent sea level.
