<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>The site is not upriver from the
Pacific coast along the Klamath River. The caves are not anywhere
near the Klamath River. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>The caves lie within the western edge
of the Great Basin. The Klamath River is many miles to the west. The
closest waterway is the Chewaucan River. And, many locals wonder if the
findings are exactly that old.....the caves have been a fascination for locals
over the generations, and many a local relieved themselves in the caves.

Tradition relates that the earlier residents migrated around the area, foraging
for substance. No permanent settlements. </FONT></DIV></DIV>

<P>Paisley is now world renowned! As it turns out, how the
world thinks about when, who and how the continent of North America was
settled may be decided by a pile of [remains] found in the Five Mile
caves near Paisley. This is pretty interesting [stuff]! Copy
and paste the link below for the best discussion about it that I
could find. (Thanks, Cousin Jinny, for bringing it to our
attention.) It's a little disappointing that this is what "puts Paisley
on the map" but ... </P></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>What it says is that humans were in the
Americas about 14,300 years ago, "almost 1,500 years before the earliest
agreed-upon evidence for human presence in the Americas. 'For the first time,
we are actually radio-carbon dating human remains that are pre-Clovis,"
Jenkins says. "There are older radiocarbon dates on sites in North America,
but not directly on human remains.' " <BR><BR>More from Googling Paisley caves
