• New, long enough, within policy, no copyvio found via tool, no QPQ necessary as outside nom. Hook doesn't have an immediate ref in article (see 3b). Section in question also appears to be copy-pasted from source (a copyvio). Please ping me if I don't respond. czar ♔ 19:48, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

The hook fact now has an immediate reference in the article. I've removed the 'legacy' section, which consisted only of a lengthy quote. Gobōnobō ^{+ c} 20:30, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

• Article is largely copied from its major sources. Compare for example "In 1947 the Braidwoods established the Prehistoric Project to study the transition from hunting and gathering to farming and were the first to find evidence for this important transition. They pioneered the use of natural scientists on their expedition to study animal bones and plant materials. They also were the first to utilize Willard Libby's radiocarbon technique to date organic materials" with "In 1947 the Braidwoods established the Prehistoric Project to study the transition from hunting and gathering to farming and were the first to find evidence for this important transition.
