Removal of "over a 7,500 year period"

[edit]

The source for the following was a very short blurb describing the site:

Archaeological evidence shows that the LoDaiKa site was inhabited over a 7,500 year period,[1]

The detailed archaeological information provided so far routinely places occupation of the site over a 4,000 year history (3000 BC to AD 1000), an outlier being a projectile point and flakes - but there is not consensus about whether that is Paleo-Indian or Archaic - nor actual dating of the item.

So, that's why I took this out, but it may be that there's information I'm not aware of so far. Is there a specific reference that provides dates of occupation outside of the 3000 BC and AD 1000 window? Thanks!!!-CaroleHenson (talk) 19:26, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the source, produced by the State Historic Preservation Office, there's Paleoindian material at the site from this date. Nyttend (talk) 21:09, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response! Yep, I saw that the one cited source gave a sweeping statement about the land being inhabited for over 7,500 years. Unfortunately, the information from archaeological excavations "routinely places occupation of the site over a 4,000 year history (3000 BC to AD 1000)". Do you know of something more detailed that identifies sites that spanned more than 7,500 years? (I couldn't find any and I looked pretty hard - but of course, could have missed something.)--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:31, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see part of the issue is the use of the term "inhabited" which is what I'm going by. The other is about the "Archaic" projectile point - which could bear a lot more conversation if you're interested.--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:39, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
