> retired history professors I would still rate this group as more reliable than pseudo archeologists with a political agenda.

  A former (or current) history professor who blocks reporting of current measurements is a psuedo-what-have-you. A very current example is Younger Dryas Impact deniers. (Note that doubting the Impact actually caused the Younger Dryas cold spell does not by itself make one such a denier.)

    You're right. That does not make the absurd claims about that site being 20k year old any less absurd though. > Younger Dryas Impact Is a hypothesis a not somehow proven fact. Barely even a theory.

      As of 2019 it is fact. You would need to come up with something else to account for all the evidence. The only remotely plausible alternative would be volcanism, but without sulfur.
