I have made numerous changes in order to make this page intelligible to the average reader. I do not have experience with this subject, so I would ask anyone who does to please rectify any errors I might have introduced. Thank you--Spurius Furius 00:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merger

Virginia Steen-McIntyre is not notable enough on her own. Her page is mostly just content about Hueyatlaco. I think the pages should be merged with Virginia Steen-McIntyre redirecting to here. Then the POV issues and reliable source issues can be worked out on just this page. Tmtoulouse 06:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Merging the pages seems reasonable to me, unless there is any notable information relevant to Virginia Steen-McIntyre that could not be presented here. In other words, I support the proposed merger, unless someone can provide a good reason as to why the articles shoud not be merged.--Spurius Furius 18:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you and I might be the only ones interested in editing this material at all. I know its customary to wait a week or so after the proposed merger for further comment but I don't think anyone is forthcoming. I will probably start the merge this weekend and if someone comes around later and disagree we can address it then. Tmtoulouse 18:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea.--Spurius Furius 16:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Before Virginia Steen-McIntyre is merged with this article I believe that more research should be done on the subject. The University of Arizona article from 2000 referenced below throws some light on the dating of the evidence that Steen-McIntyre used to come to her conclusions. radiocarbon.library.arizona.edu/.../Number2/azu_radiocarbon_v42_n2_305_310_v.pdf&type=application/pdf. This article makes one wonder if it is Steen-McIntyre who was the unreasonable person in the Dating controversy. There has been 40 years (2 generations of archaeologists) to shake down the old structure but there have only been tweeks not earthquakes in the "accepted" theories. I believe that the best gain for this article will be the addition of the new evidence and evaluations that have come in the last 10 years. Uvallthegaul 23:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
