The site
Hueyatlaco
Hueyatlaco is an archeological site in the Valsequillo Basin near the city of Puebla, Mexico. After excavations in the 1960s, the site became notorious due to geochronologists' analyses that indicated human habitation at Hueyatlaco was dated to ca. 250,000 years before the present.
These controversial findings are orders of magnitude older than the scientific consensus for habitation of the New World (which generally traces widespread human migration to the New World to 13,000 to 16,000 ybp). The findings at Hueyatlaco have mostly been repudiated by the larger scientific community, and have seen only occasional discussion in the literature
People of interest
Cynthia Irwin-Williams
Cynthia Irwin-Williams (1936–1990) was an archaeologist of the prehistoric American Southwest. She received a B.A. in Anthropology from Radcliffe College in 1957; the next year she received a M.A. in the same field. In 1963 she completed her educational career in Anthropology with a PhD. from Harvard University. Beginning her career in the 1950s, Irwin-Williams was considered a "ground-breaker" in the archaeology field for women, like her friend and supporter Marie Wormington.
The dig is often associated with Virginia Steen-McIntyre because of her continuing efforts to publicize her findings and opinions. However, the site was actually discovered by Juan Armenta Camacho and Irwin-Williams. Steen-McIntyre joined the team in 1966 as a graduate student, at the request of project geologist Hal Malde. The excavation was associated with the U.S. Geological Survey.
The Case
I know many of these aspects have been posted here in the past and immediately shut down due to those being associated with Michael A. Cremo. This one however is not.

Is Cremo a crackpot?
That's an honest question. I have never heard one way or the other. A simple yes/no will do.
It's quicker that "do your own research to find out for yourself"... although that's what I'll end up doing....

It's never a bad idea to do ones own legwork.

Appreciate the replies peter and Slayer.
Yes, legwork good.
Honestly, for someone with a wide range of interests, it's just hard to keep up with every theory/possible crackpot. Time is not always on my side, know what I mean?
I was just asking as I've seen a few old interviews he did and was looking into getting his Hidden History of the Human Race for some time. Maybe I haven't pulled the trigger on that for good reason.
