Hunting wall dating critique and underwater preservation claims. Flint Dibble presented a hunting wall dated to the Younger Dryas period The wall is actually dated to a transition period spanning a couple thousand years Researchers used luminescence dating and radiocarbon dating on organic material
Researcher Flint Dibble presented a hunting wall potentially dating to the Younger Dryas, using luminescence and radiocarbon dating on organic material. However, no human artifacts were found to directly date the wall. Underwater preservation doesn't keep materials intact forever—degradation occurs over time. The wall may date to a transition period spanning several thousand years. The claim of over 12,000 ice age sites has been questioned, with estimates suggesting only 3,000-4,000 sites existed.
Key Facts
- Flint Dibble presented a hunting wall dated to the Younger Dryas period
- The wall is actually dated to a transition period spanning a couple thousand years
- Researchers used luminescence dating and radiocarbon dating on organic material
- No human artifacts were found to date the wall directly
- Underwater preservation does not preserve items indefinitely - materials degrade over time
- Dibble claimed over 12,000 sites in the ice age record when there were only 3,000-4,000
