In September and October of 2021, I began reconnecting with Native Americans and their cosmology. Late last year I began getting emails from Dave
Edwards in Colorado. He introduced himself as a retired anthropologist who had worked at the Smithsonian Institution, in particular the National Museum
of the American Indian. Since coming to Colorado he had established relationships with Hopi elders.  He told me of a site he had discovered on his property.
From the site he had extracted dozens of large stone objects that he interpreted as figures of humans, animals, and supernatural beings. The Hopis he
knew endorsed the site. Dave invited me to visit his site. I figured that my Forbidden Archeology research is outside the mainstream, yet I ask archeologists
to give me a hearing. So although I was a little doubtful about the site, I should give Dave a hearing, and look at the evidence first hand. In September 2021
I spent a few days there. One of them was the autumnal equinox. Dave, who has some Native American ancestry, arranged a ceremony, based on Native
American practices, for the opening of a portal at the site. A portal means a point of access to other realms. Thus there was also a psychic or spiritual
dimension to the site. I agreed to participate in a documentary about the site, a preview [see https://youtu.be/5D6z9QRIrBI] of which was shown in October
at the Earth Origins IV conference in Sedona, Arizona. I was a speaker at this event. A Hopi elder and a Zuni elder were also speakers. I spoke on Native
Americans, Time, and Archeology. A Native American scholar, Vine Deloria, Jr., had quoted extensively from my book Forbidden Archeology in his book
Red Earth, White Lies. He did so because the evidence for extreme human antiquity in Forbidden Archeology supported the Native American idea that
they had always been in the Americas, they had ot evolved from apes, and did not come here only 20,000 years ago, walking across a land bridge that
connected Siberia and Alaska. I was honored the Hopi and Zuni elders got copies of my books and liked my talk.

Michael Cremo responds:
I don’t use radiocarbon dating myself. I am not a field archeologist. I am more of an historian of archeology, which means I study archeological reports. In evaluating them, I also have to evaluate the dating methods they use. These include radiocarbon, uranium series, nitrogen content, argon isotope, dating, etc. These radiometric dating methods seem to be based on fairly sound scientific principles. Problems arise mostly in connection with contamination of samples, which can happen in many ways, especially with radiocarbon dating. For example, what if we have a fossil human bone that is 3 million years old. If it has been contaminated by the least amount of modern carbon14, it will show an age of less than 40,000 years even though it is really far older. If the accelerator mass spectrometry method is used for the radiocarbon dating, the 40,000 year limit can be extended to about 100,000 years. But the contamination issue remains. It’s the same with all the other methods. They are based on sound principles, but in any particular case they could be in error.
