          Abstract

          Resumen Muchos viajeros europeos y norteamericanos llegaron a México en el siglo XIX impulsados por la riqueza arqueológica del país y por un interés natural y económico en la región. Muchos de estos viajeros dejaron testimonio escrito de sus viajes y, en la mayoría de ellos, las observaciones y estudios realizados por Alexander von Humboldt fueron un referente insoslayable. Es interés de este artículo repasar la recepción de Humboldt en algunos de estos viajeros, conocer quiénes fueron sus seguidores, quiénes sus detractores y cuáles fueron los motivos de apoyo o rechazo. Subyace en este interés ver cómo se configuró la imagen de Humboldt como "autoridad".

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Many European and North American travelers arrived in Mexico in the 19th century, driven by the archaeological wealth of the country and by a natural and economic interest in the region. Many of these travelers left testimonies of their travels, and in many of those, the observations and studies carried out by Alexander von Humboldt were an unavoidable reference. This article's purpose is to review Humboldt's reception by some of these travelers, to know who were his followers, who his detractors, and what were the reasons for support or rejection. Underlying this interest, to understand how Humboldt's image was configured as an "authority".

          Late Upper Paleolithic occupation at Cooper’s Ferry, Idaho, USA, ~16,000 years ago

          Radiocarbon dating of the earliest occupational phases at the Cooper’s Ferry site in western Idaho indicates that people repeatedly occupied the Columbia River basin, starting between 16,560 and 15,280 calibrated years before the present (cal yr B.P.). Artifacts from these early occupations indicate the use of unfluted stemmed projectile point technologies before the appearance of the Clovis Paleoindian tradition and support early cultural connections with northeastern Asian Upper Paleolithic archaeological traditions. The Cooper’s Ferry site was initially occupied during a time that predates the opening of an ice-free corridor (≤14,800 cal yr B.P.), which supports the hypothesis that initial human migration into the Americas occurred via a Pacific coastal route.
