A site where 37,000 years ago a mammoth mother and her cub met their end offers some of the best evidence for humans settling in North America much earlier than conventionally thought. Bones from the abattoir record how humans shaped chunks of their long bones into disposable knives to break up their carcasses, and make their fat over fires. But a key detail sets this site apart from others from this era. That’s in New Mexico—a place where most archaeological evidence doesn’t locate humans until tens of thousands of years later. Researchers reveal a wealth of evidence that is rarely found in one place. These include fossils with blunt force fractures, bone-chilling blades with worn edges, and signs of a controlled fire. And thanks to carbon-dating analysis of collagen extracted from mammoth bones, the site also dates from 36,250 to 38,900 years old,

A 7-Eleven service station and a McDonald’s drive-through have been approved for vacant locations in Alkimos, much to the disappointment of residents living nearby. The $2.1 million 7-Eleven will include three pump stations and a convenience store, while the $2.19 million McDonald’s will include restaurants and a double-track drive-through, at sites bordered by Marmion Avenue, Hawksbill Drive, Fontana Loop. and Carlsbad Promenade. The Metro Outer Combined Development Assessment Panel heard the site for the service station was originally categorized for mixed use, but amendments filed in December 2020 saw it converted to commercial in November 2021. Your local newspaper, whenever you want. However, McDonald’s sites are always categorized as commercial. Emily Hoglund, who owns the land two homes away from the site, said she was told it would be for a small business or cafe, and neighbors were told it would be for a doctor or physiotherapist. “Not for high-traffic businesses,” he said. “I

If not Clarkson, then North should consider handing over Lyon

Adam Simpson, despite a horrendous season, seems committed to the West Coast and vice versa. Another old shinboner, John Longmire, settled in Sydney. The pair can be ruled out. The noise around Ken Hinkley suggests he intends to remain with Port Adelaide for 2023, which is also when his contract expires. Former Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has said he doesn’t want to coach in 2023. If so, Kangaroos shouldn’t try and get in his way. Don Pyke, enjoying life as an assistant in Sydney, won’t be pursuing Collingwood’s job, so it’s hard to see him jump North. From an experienced coach with a successful track record, that makes Ross Lyon, an authoritarian figure who can be polarizing but whose intelligence and coaching ability to land players is unquestionable. North, thus, should seriously consider appointing Lyon for a short, three-year stint, in the way of Paul Roos in Melbourne, with the club identifying a younger coach for handover in year two or three. Lyon will do better with a

With North Melbourne’s move away from coach David Noble and the turmoil developing around the club, Kane Cornes has appointed his ‘dream team’ to step in and take over at Roos. Across the entire football department, key club roles and even a leader on the pitch, this 300-game Port Adelaide great left no stone unturned in his hypothetical recruiting. “Everything I listed was obtainable. You can throw Christian Petracca in there, but he can’t be picked up,” Cornes explained. Check out the personnel Cornes has amassed to take control of Roos below. Alastair Clarkson (head coach) “Not surprisingly, Alastair Clarkson is at the top of the dream team. He’s the coach.” Mark Williams (development and culture coach) “He’s locked in the dream team. This is the first addition to my dream team. Get Mark Williams as development/culture at the club. “He was my dream team’s first appointment in North Melbourne. “He is the second most important signing here. He will revitalize the whole club
