C., a great expansion of population started in the New World and con tinued up to the arrival of the white men. This is one of "the cu- .jrious implications .of the dating of archaelogical material by the new radioactive carbon technique. It is reported to the American Geophy sical Union by Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr., of the Smithsonian Institution. ' “Some of the Old World remains show more antiquity than anything thus far found on this side of the water. Whether it is pure coinci dence, the result of the choice of samples selected for testing, or a matter of some significance re mains to be seen, but it is worthy of note that the remains of the so- called Paleo-Indian in the New World tend to fall into certain date patterns. The oldest is approx- | imately 10,000 years old. Then ! there is a group between 8,000 and : 8,500 years old. Others center around* 7,000 years old, while the ! largest number occur in the 4,000 to 5,000-year category, i “The intervals of several hun- i dred years in some cases may mean that we are merely have not found i the sites that belong there. On the other hand, they may indicate a break in occupation with recurring waves of migration. It is certain that beginning about 1500 B. C. there was a marked increase in the population of North America and that it continued to expand until the arrival of white man.” 111 ■" ■ ■ ■■ ii m SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE "The Paper Everybody Reads” Brand New!
