Notes: “The Arch Lake human burial site is located in eastern New Mexico…When discovered and excavated in 1967, a geologic context of considerable antiquity was recognized.  In February 2000 an interdisciplinary team reexamined the osteology, geology, archaeology, and radiocarbon age of the burial….AMS radiocarbon dating results indicate an uncalibrated age of 10,020 ± 50 RC yr BP.”  (From the Preface)
