Hot Takes on a Cool Discovery -OR- We're putting our foot in it - Ep 164 The ArchaeoTech Podcast

A recent paper discussing footprints found years ago in New Mexico is shaking up
the archaeological community. The footprints were dated to between 21,000 and
23,000 years ago - problematic because concrete evidence for the earliest sites
sits at around 14,000 years ago. There are older sites, but, the evidence isn't
great. This new research, however, could change everything.
