"---the problem then is that all the coastal sites before 12K years ago are covered by water...20K years ago the sea level was 300 feet lower"

There are dinosaur bones - land dwelling mammals - on Punta Baja and the coastal cliffs a few miles south. It is generally believed that "the "Late Cretaceous shoreline in the vicinity of El Rosario occupied approximately the same position as it does today." (Durham and Allison 1960). Mammoth bones on the channel islands. And plenty of evidence showing man co-existed with mammoths. I don't think all coastal sites before 12K years ago were covered in [sea] water. Also consider there were forests, lagoons and estuaries where today you find tree and mammal fossils.

Wandering around my backyard among the matates and manos (grinding tools), scrapers and shell middens, and dreaming about the people who had also wandered here...

How long ago they were here is so far over my head that I settle for the simple questions like "how the heck did these people walk around without having feet full of cholla and pitaya stickers like to 2" thick layer of spines that cover my shoes?"

It never occurred to me that the stuff I find might be so old that there wasn't cholla and pitaya here back then. Exciting stuff.

But how many times have you found an "artifact" and thought you had something really special until you saw the old faded Tecate cans buried in the dirt right next to it?
