The problem with the Calico Hills artifacts, aside from the age, is the less
than unequivocable provenance.  Im thinking that what would be required for
people to start accepting such early dates for  finds in N. America might be
some fairly clean, unequivocable artifacts or some skeletal material or. . .
.. anyway, somthing that could not credibly be attached to "natural
phenomena.

With finds that are even remotely associated with glacial deposits, there is
always going to be the "reasonable doubt" that they could be either natural
artifacts of the grinding along the bottom of the glacier OR simply later
artifacts that were plowed into earlier remains.

Any chance you could post that puppy to one of the Yahoo groups?  Even 3mb
tends to choke a lot of email servers.

8-)  And the Dead Sea scrolls sat around unpublished for how long?

Wonder how much NSF money (aka US taxpayers money!) has gone into valuable
research that is STILL sitting on some desk awaiting the "right time" to let
the rest of the world in on the discoveries.  Old story, pet peeve. . . ;-)
