Ancient Global Contact Theory

Why Ancient Inquiry uses this citation here

Stephen Williams's scholarly history and critique of pseudoarchaeological methods, anomalous-artifact claims and hyperdiffusion in North America; useful for claim evaluation, not a blanket denial of contact.

What this usage does not establish

Bibliographic verification does not by itself establish that the full text was read.

The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
Open claim topic
Limiting / critical citation for public claim

Archaeology and genomics document specific Norse and Polynesian-Indigenous American contact cases; they do not license unrelated contact claims.

The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
