Notes: Ballena Press Anthropological Papers No. 23.  Conference papers.  “Perhaps it is wise to place limits on our expectations as to the earliest times at which man could have entered the Americas from Asia.  Palaeogeographic data suggest that only after the last inter-glacial about 100,000 years ago was the Bering Strait land-bridge in existence allowing passage for men and animals alike.  However, nowhere have been found artifacts or human remains that ancient.  Therefore we are still uncertain when the first wave of immigrants arrived.”  (From the Preface)
