  • No modern human occupation sites in Wallacea have yet been discovered that predate the earliest occupation sites known in Sahul.

    “no modern human occupation sites in Wallacea have yet been discovered that predate the earliest occupation sites known in Sahul (Kealy et al., 2016;Wood et al., 2016;Clarkson et al., 2017;Hawkins et al., 2017).”

    The Introduction (§1.1; page unavailable) discusses the earliest known occupation dates in Australia, and the Abstract dates occupation at Riwi to 46.4–44.6 cal kBP. Our copy does not compare those dates with Wallacean occupation sites or state that none predates the earliest sites in Sahul. (LLM, conf=0.83)

  • Riwi Rockshelter has an OSL age on quartz of 51,300 ± 2,300 years.

  • Ages were quality-rated largely following the protocol developed by Rodríguez-Rey et al. for evaluation of ages associated with Sahul megafauna deposits.

    “We quality-rated ages largely following the protocol developed by Rodríguez-Rey et al. 98 for evaluation of ages associated with Sahul megafauna deposits.”

    Sections 2.1–2.2 describe radiocarbon pretreatment and checks on the Riwi ages, while section 3.5 reports OSL age estimates; no page numbers are available in our copy. Searches for Rodríguez-Rey, quality-rating protocols, and Sahul megafauna deposits found no passage addressing the attributed protocol. (LLM, conf=0.75)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The authors deviated from the Rodríguez-Rey et al. approach in accepting charcoal ages pretreated with acid-base oxidation (ABOx) as 'm*' (rather than 'm') and acid-base-acid (ABA) or acid-alkali-acid (AAA) as 'm' (rather than 'B').

    “We deviated from the Rodríguez-Rey et al. 98 approach in accepting charcoal ages pretreated with acid-base oxidation (ABOx) as 'm*' (rather than 'm') and acid-base-acid (ABA) or acid-alkali-acid (AAA) as 'm' (rather than 'B').”

    Section 2.1 describes ABOx-SC and ABA charcoal pretreatments, and Section 2.2 compares the resulting ages, but neither passage assigns ages the labels ‘m*’, ‘m’, or ‘B’. Searches for those labels and for Rodríguez-Rey found no passage establishing the classification approach or the stated deviation from it. The indexed passages provide no page numbers.

  • Quality ratings for other dating techniques such as optically stimulated luminescence follow the criteria outlined in Rodríguez-Rey et al.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
