None as this wouldn't be HSS, it's too early.

As one supporter of early dates put it when he brought this to my
attention:

1 The dating is actually new, it goes back to 1998.
2. It still isn't certain if these are geofacts or artifacts.
3. If they are artifacts, remember that it is the strata that has been
dated. This is an alluvial fan, the date of the strata might not be the
date of the objects.
