Abstract

ABSTRACT In an essay published in PaleoAmerica (2020, Vol. 6, No. 4), Fiedel and coauthors present a review of “Late Upper Paleolithic occupation at Cooper’s Ferry, Idaho, USA, ∼16,000 years ago”, by Davis and coauthors in Science (2019, Vol. 365, pp. 891–897). Fiedel and coauthors’ review presents significant misunderstandings about fundamental aspects of site stratigraphy and radiocarbon chronology and also advances alternative speculations about reported archaeological phenomena generated solely by their imaginations. Worse, Fiedel and coauthors attribute to us things we did not say, then use those false attributions to discredit our work. Our response provides an opportunity to clarify issues of stratigraphy, site formation, chronology, feature interpretation, and paleogenetics. We reinforce our original report that people bearing late Upper Paleolithic lithic technology initially occupied the Cooper’s Ferry site ∼16,000 calendar years ago and later returned over and over to live at the site during Clovis times and afterwards.

对Fiedel等人对“旧石器时代晚期晚期在Cooper’s Ferry，爱达荷州，美国，约16000年前”的评论的回应。

在《古美国》(2020年，第6卷，第4期)上发表的一篇论文中，Fiedel和合著者对Davis和合著者在《科学》(2019年，第365卷，第891-897页)上发表的“旧石器时代晚期晚期在美国爱达荷州库珀渡口的职业”进行了回顾。Fiedel和他的合作者的评论对遗址地层学和放射性碳年代学的基本方面提出了重大的误解，也提出了对报道的考古现象的替代猜测，这些现象完全是由他们的想象产生的。更糟糕的是，菲德尔和他的合作者把我们没有说过的话加在我们身上，然后用这些错误的归因来诋毁我们的工作。我们的回应提供了一个澄清地层学、遗址形成、年代学、特征解释和古遗传学问题的机会。我们加强了我们的原始报告，即拥有旧石器时代晚期石器技术的人们最初在大约1.6万年前占领了库珀渡口遗址，后来在克洛维斯时代和之后一次又一次地回到该遗址生活。

期刊介绍： PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
