Record summary
The Acámbaro figurines are a large collection of fired-clay objects collected by Waldemar Julsrud and interpreted by supporters as ancient depictions of humans with dinosaurs. Thermoluminescence tests performed in the 1960s were publicized as supporting antiquity, but sampling, laboratory controls, excavation documentation and collection history have been heavily criticized. Most archaeologists regard the assemblage as modern or contaminated material rather than evidence of coexistence. The case offers a comparison of scientific dating, chain of custody and the persuasive power of spectacular iconography.
