CONDITION NOTES: FINE BINDING: Wraps..Journal offprint. Disseminating data from the stunning finds of human bones on Santa Rosa Island, representing the oldest evidence of humanity in North America at the time."In 1959 on Santa Rosa Island Orr discovered what was to become one of the most significant archaeological finds of the century — three ancient human bones found buried 30 feet deep in the side wall of Arlington Canyon. Orr recognized the importance of his find and convened a committee of renowned archaeologists to verify the stratigraphic context of the bones. Charcoal from the same stratum that contained the bones was dated to 10,000 years before present, making the skeletal remains the oldest found in North American until that time. Orr called his discovery "Arlington Springs Man." Recent research has demonstrated that the bones appear to be older than Orr expected, dating to approximately 13,000 years ago, thus representing the oldest human yet discovered in North America."
