Not with his replications of reproducing broken femur ends with rocks found at the Cerutti site. Not with his reporting of the results of impacted protein results. Nice skip-over the evidence and switch to a appeal to authority.

But you didn't correct him on your claim? Rick says above: "As usual you're confused. Field archeology is observational science. You can dig up Tutankhamun's tomb exactly once."

Sorry, "correspondence" isn't evidence for anything.

But hey great, why don't you ask him what the protein results were since you are corresponding with him?

"Can the researchers do anything else to back up their claim?
Yes. Deméré and his colleagues are currently examining the stone tools from the site for protein residues. If they really were used to smash the mastodon bone, microscopic bits of mastodon likely would have been ground into the rocks’ nooks and crannies."
