The straightforward way in which Google answers this query is a case study in how new science becomes accepted as fact in the modern era of rapid communication.
in the American Journal of Science, followed by links dominated by news stories about the paper’s findings.For months, the straightforward way in which Google has answered this query has deepened a rift in an academic field that already had an uneasy relationship with definitive claims.
“I didn't see them for what they are,” Kidder said. “And so we — I don't want to say wrote them off — but we never did any further investigation.” The slow unfolding of the mounds’ most reliable age shows how archaeologists generally hew closely to the aphorism popularized by Carl Sagan: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.The trouble with superlatives
Whenever a great deal of attention is brought to a given subject, Google pushes it higher in the search results, Menczer explained. Over time, as Google gathers more evidence and data, the rankings may drop — especially if the sources providing the search results are news outlets, because recency is key for the algorithm.
also acknowledges that Watson Brake is the “oldest reliably dated human-made structure in North America.” A more formal rebuttal came a few months later. In November 2022, a group of LSU archaeologists published a paper in the SAA Archaeological Record, a bulletin of the Society for American Archaeology, that analyzed the evidence for the dates of the mound material and the tempo of construction. Their main argument is that, while the ages of the canebrake layers may be accurate, there’s no way to know for sure when that material was placed at the site.
“We published in that [bulletin] because it was fast — relatively fast — hoping we could nip this in the bud, as opposed to the year-and-a-half to two years it would take to compose something that would be acceptable to a national journal and get it all through [the] review process,” Saunders said.
