Hi Darren -
Thanks for the links to the ongoing Carolina Bays research. Given the
radiocarbon dates for them, I tended to think that they were the result of
impact megatsunami. In any case they were too controversial for inclusion in my
book.
Ethnographic materials are notoriously difficult to work with, and trying to
retrieve history from them has been compared to trying to eat soup with your
hands. For example, this last weekend I read a Lenape fossil story, centered
around the fossils found at Big Bone Lick. Clearly it was explanatory, rather
than proto-historical, IMHO, as the Lenape Holocene Start Impact account is
preserved elsewhere and is detailed. But given that, the inclusion of impact by
the Lenape in their explanation of the fossils is one of those details...
I hope a good solution for the Willamette problem comes about, one satisfying
to all involved.
