The evidence points to the seven site. firstly this is where TIGER found the water collecting device and remains of a small house that Gallagher had built while he carried out a search of the bone site. There are a number of large Rena trees and the remains of fires with fish, bird and turtle bones.
The TIGER shoe heel and shoe site are further west on the lee side of the island towards the settlement. The shoe parts were found near the grave of an infant in an area where settlers had summer houses. Interestingly there was a fire feature here but a fragment of bar coded paper was found in it that dates the feature post settlers.
the water collection device included the corrugated tin. that was from later visitors to the island. i dont think fred and amelia had that with them nor the police of tarwa tank either. the summer houses i read were at site 7. ren trees could have grown anywhere on the island and have been cut down. as there were cut down trees on the south auukaine side near the infant grave. from what i read. the infant grave was far away from the village. i did read somewhere something about a upc code paper. i dont know wher ei read that at. but i also read in a tighar track page last night. where the paper at the south auakaine site fire was a ROWER PRODUCE with green leafs near the top burnt edge . and that the plane had two cans of ripe bananas in its inventory. i cant even find the link to these pages. because i am so new to the site. everything seems to not be linked good enough for me to find again. i am sorry about that.
Arguments about why Earhart and/or Noonan would or should have moved from the best landing site near the Norwich City are essentially moot (arguable, undecidable, essentially irrelevant). IF that is where the castaway died, and if the castaway was, in fact, Earhart or Noonan, then we have to presume that he or she thought it was a good place to camp either temporarily or indefinitely. It is possible that the castaway arrived at the Seven Site after scouting what looks like, but is not, a freshwater pond near the southeast tip of the island.
•Pleasant forest.
•Breezes from prevailing easterly winds.
•Easy access to both the sea shore and the lagoon.
•Trees to climb to watch for ships.
•Access to food: turtles, fish, clams, birds.
•A ready supply of firewood in the buka forest?
i read this before now. and i am not arguing if they moved or why they would move. i know if i were sitting around i would be bored. and interested how to get off the island. so i would explore. i found a year chart on this site. and in 1938 supposedly some islander found two skeletons. because he noticed shoes. something the islander didn't use at the time. i time the rest of that is assuming. islanders ate turtles and birds. so any bones at site 7 is coincidental. the clam shells being brought to the camp is interesting. who knows if they were looking at the pond as fresh water or not.
I'd be interested in your arguments against the casterway then?
i have no arguments other than i have seen no evidence that site 7 is the place where they died at. that is what we are looking for is evidence of their body's or their plane. clam shells bird or turtle bones only means that someone was there. before the team got there. the clams are the only thing i thought may hold white man being present at site 7. i think plenty of eveidence has been found to say that they were probably there. proof for the rest of the world just needs to be shown that is provable. even thought i believe it. doesnt mean anyone else does.
