    Evidence of a stone hoe knapped at that time, like we have found everywhere that there was agriculture, would be a start. Evidence of some sort of tilling, which would still be there even if buried would be better. We have found neither.

      Thanks for trying to engage in a good-faith discussion here.

      I’d have thought the guy who said, “Archaeology exists, bro,” would be interested in what archaeology is actually able to tell us.

        Thanks. I’m no where qualified to actually discuss archaeology as it is practiced, but there do seem to be a few common things found at ancient sites, mostly broken pottery and broken stone tools. I’m assuming because we had to make a lot of the things prior to discovering metalworking.

      We found a banana peel from last week, if bananas existed 100 years ago, the planet would be covered in ancient banana peels, hence we know bananas are at most a week old!

      Best of luck pal, but you’re gonna have to find someone else now
