Move

In light of this latest development, I propose creation of an "Arlington Springs Man" article, and turning the "Arlington Springs Woman" article into a redirect page to the newly-created article. NorCalHistory 02:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Edits

An IP user has recently twice added material to the page that I have removed. The first paragraph:

The discovery of the Arlington Springs Man is significant because there was only one other find in North America which was a child burial that was dated to the same age, and also supports the theory that ancient people first discovered the new world by sailing down the Pacific Coast from Alaska. To date, the Arlington Springs Man is the oldest human to be discovered in North America

... is a duplication of existing content - the "oldest" find is already in paragraph 2 ("making the remains potentially the oldest-known human skeleton in North America") and the coastal migration theory is already in the 3rd para ("and lends credence as well to a "coastal migration" theory for the peopling of the Americas").

The second paragraph:

Also due to new advances with technology, such as laser mapping and ground penetrating radar scientists are now able to get a better understanding of what life was like during that time period. According to the National Park Service, scientists recently collected a series of soil cores that will help provide information about the geological and environmental history of the island.

.. is about possible future geological studies and I can't see how it's relevant here. If and when these studies are published, and if they contain any relevant new findings pertaining to the Arlington Springs Man, then we can add the relevant info at that time.

Why I removed the tag requesting geographic coordinates

This article is about the human remains, not about the site itself. The remains have been repatriated to the tribe with a legitimate claim to them and this tribe seems to want to keep the reburial location private. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 02:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
