[Geology2] Groundbreaking archaeological discoveries being made in Guyana

Groundbreaking archaeological discoveries being made in Guyana Stabroek
News [Guyana], August 15, 2010

Archaeologists have been making groundbreaking discoveries in Guyana in
recent years, including unearthing the remains of a whale, a giant
porpoise and a rock fish, all of which could be about 10,000 years old.
Another significant discovery is that of pottery, perhaps as old as
5,000 years, at Kabakaburi in the Pomeroon. Spearheading these discovery
efforts is Dr Mark Plew, Chair of the Archaeology Department at Boise
State University in Idaho. Over the past few years, he has been one of
the lead figures in the Denis Williams Summer School of Anthropology and
has led teams comprising both local and overseas personnel into
different parts of Guyana for field work. These excursions, particularly
those made over the last three years, have been rewarding for Plew.
