1 Wednesday October 22, 2014 VIII The Spread of Homo sapiens sapiens E. Colonization of the New World IX Broad Spectrum Hunting and Gathering

2 1-2 paragraph Summary On the Human Prehistory Part of the Film Due Nov. 3 in Class

3 Controversial Issues Related to Colonization of the New World

4 Alternative Routes of Entry: Coastal Corridor (Paleocoastal) Clovis Hunters via The Ice Free Corridor Coastal Route Interior Route

5 Stanford and Bradley: Colonization from Europe?

6 Solutrean Tools Europe 17,000 BP

7 Paul S. Martin and the Pleistocene Overkill Hypothesis Or Blitzkreig

8 Alternative: Terminal Pleistocene Climate Change (warming) PLEISTOCENE HOLOCENE

9 Also: Combined Overkill and Climate Warming

10 Extraterrestrial Impact in northern North America 12,900 years ago? Roy Firestone et al. 2007, Douglas and James Kennett

11 Terminal Pleistocene Climate Change Younger Dryas= 12,900-11,500 BP PLEISTOCENE HOLOCENE

12 Other Impact Events: Tunguska 1908 eastern Russia

13 An estimated 80 million trees over 830 square miles

14 K-T Impact 65 million years ago (Cretaceous-Tertiary) Crater 110 miles across

15 Evidence for the YDB Impact: The Black Mat, Murray Springs Arizona BLACK MAT 12,900 B.P. 13,000 B.P.

16 The Coastal Route: Late Pleistocene Sites on the California Coast Avila Beach Point Arguello Santa Barbara Point Conception Ventura San Miguel Island Arlington Canyon Santa Cruz Island Anacapa Island Santa Rosa Island N

17 The nanodiamonds that we found at all six locations exist only in sediments associated with the Younger Dryas Boundary layers, not above it or below it. These discoveries provide strong evidence for a cosmic impact event at approximately 12,900 years ago that would have had enormous environmental consequences for plants, animals and humans across North America. Douglas Kennett 2009

18 Nanodiamonds= Microscopic diamond produced By a detonation or explosion

19 Black Layer 12,900 BP In Belgium
