I’m not here to completely dismiss archeology however I’m reminded of The Cardiff Giant everytime an article is written about aging anything made out of stone. Especially something very surf worn smooth. It’s virtually impossible to do. So they go with the next best thing, comparison to pieces found in layers of Earth they can date. And that’s sketchy at best. I wonder if they even bothered to test the flint to make sure it’s even indigenous to the area? 50 years ago a kid might have gone swimming with his “lucky arrowhead” he found in California and lost it.
She said that she keeps it in her purse and is amazed by the incredibly rare find. well that’s odd
