Palaeoarchaeology

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The creator of this article provides no evidence that this is an established science. Instead he is using it as a vehicle to link to articles about various landscape features where there is debate about whether they are man-made or natural (or in the case of the Bosnian pyramids have been thoroughly dismissed as natural). &mdash; RHaworth 23:06, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

REDACTED REMOVAL per nom. Has insufficient verifiable references from reliable sources for the alleged science. — Jeff G. ツ 07:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep given the changes by .   — Jeff G. ツ 10:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep with recent rewrite by UG. Perhaps rename/move to Paleolithic archeology or some "ae" spelling variant as that seems a more common term. Vsmith (talk) 17:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep the user has indeed not provided sufficient evidence, but that does not mean that others cannot. Chaosdruid (talk) 20:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments - This is a well established field of research (although it may not have many active archaeologists specialisng in palaeo- fields) Problems in the Archaeology and Paleoarchaeology of Northern, Eastern and Central Asia.  Dennis Stanford, a paleoarchaeologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, agrees Mammoth Park is a paleoarchaeological site. I also find it hard to believe that this was rushed through so quickly. Is it a problem with the spelling ? THis is the normal UK spelling and the US (and others) would be Paleoarchaeology. Misspellings would include Paleoarcheology though. Chaosdruid (talk) 20:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
