  • Gastroliths in archaeology: A note of caution

    Open Access•Spencer G Luca, Adrian P Hunt•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021•References: 2

    Polished stones at archaeological sites are often identified as avian gastroliths, even though they lack a skeletal association. Such identification is based on the misconception that high polish characterizes gastroliths, an old idea refuted by diverse research. Thus, polished stones at archaeological sites are not necessarily gastroliths, and more rigor is urged in the identification and interpretation of such stones

  • Human Footprints and the Peopling of the Americas

    Spencer G Luca, Spencer G Lucas•ARTICLE•PaleoAmerica•2017•Cited by: 3•References: 6

    In the last two decades, human footprints have grown in importance in discussions about the peopling of the Americas. Study of such footprints needs to begin with rigorous documentation establishing that the sedimentary structures thought to be human footprints are bona fide human footprints. Determining the age of the human footprints follows but can be very difficult to achieve with the necessary precision. Nevertheless, this two-step process o…

    This DOI is not currently attached to any metadata records. DOIs can’t actually ever be deleted (they’re persistent), but sometimes our members create DOIs in error. We do have a process to approximate deletion which we follow only in rare cases where the DOI has been genuinely created in error, and most crucially, if the DOI has never been published anywhere online or in print and never otherwise distributed to or communicated with anyone (autho…
