Hmm contact a local museum or university professor?

It looks like you received answers on your original post but just didn't like them.

The foremost expert on geology in that area is Dr. Bill Cannon from the US Geological Survey.

I would take that to state college geology or archaeology department and try to catch a professor’s office hours!

Ive done several. Either no response or they say they cant help 🤷🏼♂️

Like them? Im simply looking for an actual expert(s) not random comments from the internet. I think most those answers are plausible.

Ive emailed a number of them. Either no answer or they just say they cant help. Guess I could try a visit.

Well obviously. The sea level has risen nearly 150 metres since they colonized Beringia.

You received multiple answers from archaeologists. You could DM them to follow up and verify.

I mean, I wouldn’t just take a reddit comment’s word for it, even if they did say they were a geologist. There’s value in meeting someone face to face or having an offline conversation with them. Reddit is a fine place to start, but that’s about it

Totally agree. Hence the "Dm them to follow up and verify"
Electrical_Skirt21 t1_jegktsv wrote
I’m sorry, I discounted that because I didn’t think beyond the DM. Like, if you DM them, you are still on reddit… but following up via email or phone as a consequence of the DM didn’t occur to me until you responded

A fascinating read. Thanks for posting, OP. I wonder what will eventually turn up in the now-submerged former coastal plains of California.

Ignore the haters, that's obviously cuneiform, a child can see that.

DM’s are untrustworthy but random responses you get from a different thread are?

That’s not what I said

Why do you care so much? They asked again here. Move on.

You solicited random comments on the internet and that's what ya got. I'd email a museum or university for a specific person's opinion, not post to Reddit

The article talks about how sunken landscapes, such as springs, lakes, and rivers, hold clues about the daily lives, beliefs, and diets of the first humans to inhabit North America. The article explores the work of researchers and archaeologists who are using new technologies to study these submerged prehistoric environments and how this research is expanding our understanding of early American history.
