There are quite a few sites across the state that have the distinctive remains associated with Clovis people, the earliest well documented archeological culture in North America—about 13,000-13,500 years old (11,000-11,500 B.C.). One of the largest and most important Clovis sites in North America is deep in the heart of Texas, the Gault site near Georgetown (see the Gault site exhibit). There is also tantalizing evidence that people may have visited Texas several thousand years earlier.

That depends. Most land in Texas (96.7%) is privately owned and therefore so are most archeological sites. You must have the landowner's permission to visit archeological sites on private land. Fortunately, some of the most interesting sites in Texas are on public land and can be visited at certain state and national parks. Keep in mind that there really isn't much to see at most archeological sites unless excavations are underway.

The oldest site we know if is the Jim Pitts site, which was located about 20 miles west of Custer, in the Black Hills. The earliest inhabitants of the site have been identified as belonging to the Goshen complex, and it has been dated by radiocarbon to about 11,300 years ago. Note that this is the oldest site we know of now. We do not really know when the first people came to the Americas.

Archeologists often identify prehistoric archeological sites by finding the chips left from making stone tools like arrow and dart points. Cooking stones and broken pottery are sometimes found, as well as bones from ancient dinners. Historic sites often are marked by broken glass and china, wells, building foundations, and domestic plants. Archeologists systematically walk across areas looking for these artifacts and other signs of archeological sites.

Today when an archeological site is formally recorded by a legitimate archeologist, it is always assigned a unique site number, and may or may not have a name. Most archeologists name the sites they excavate or study in detail. Sites are named for landowners, landscape features, and various other namesakes and the names may not be unique or easy to reference. In Texas alone, for example, there are dozens of sites that have the name "Smith" as part of the site name.

Patients over 65 require very strong indications for surgery, and must also meet MediCARE criteria, which are stringent. The risk of surgery in this age group is increased, and the benefits, in terms of reduced risk of mortality, are reduced. In many instances, this argues against the surgery.

There was a bride and groom, both 18, who got married on Siesta Key Beach with their parents' blessings. One couple was in their early 70s, but had known each other since childhood. They eloped to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. Recently, I married a bride in her late 70s to her 90-year-old groom. Her middle-aged son "gave her away." There's no age limit on love!

Of course the Universe has to be older than the oldest stars in it. So this question basically asks: which estimate is wrong - Both The age of the Universe is determined from its expansion rate: the Hubble constant, which is the ratio of the radial velocity of a distant galaxy to its distance. The radial velocity is easy to measure, but the distances are not. Thus there is currently a 11% uncertainty in the value of the Hubble constant measured directly by the Hubble Space Telescope.

You must be at least 8 years old to race with most kart clubs. However, LAKC offers a "Kid Kart" class for 5 to 8 year olds. There is no maximum age in kart racing. A number of competitve drivers are well into their 50s or 60s!

I do know one peice of equipment will have to be modified/replaced, but the rest seems ok for now.

No. The oldest sequoia recorded was about 3,200 years old. East of the Sierra, in the White Mountains of California live the bristlecone pines. The oldest of these twisted, fairly small trees, the Methuselah tree, is 4,723 years old. They grow in a very dry, windy environment and only reach about 15-40 feet tall (5-12 meters) and 1-2.5 feet (0.3-0.76 meters) in diameter.
