More on the rumor of "intentional overshot flaking" and the purported Ice-Age Atlantic Crossing

Abstract

Lohse, Collins, and Bradley ignore or misrepresent the arguments we have made concerning "controlled" overshot flaking and the purported Ice-Age Atlantic Crossing. Here, we summarize our previous work and explain again how it directly tests the explicit claims of Stanford and Bradley (2012; Bradley and Stanford 2004, 2006). We also correct the inaccuracies and false accusations of Lohse, Collins, and Bradley, and refute their belief that arguments should be rejected or accepted on the basis of majority consensus and authority rather than on empirical data and logical arguments. © W.
