So far over 2 years later:
1) Still no human remains at Cerutti or anywhere else
in the Americas before 15kya ...no hair, no bones, no teeth have since been found.
Update no change in evidence:

“We have never felt that this one site would represent a paradigm shift. We are in the field at present looking for additional sites of this age,” Holen told Ars Technica."
"More converging evidence is needed in order to overturn the current scientific consensus of the timeline of human dispersal into the Americas,” said Rafuse."
2) Still no DNA before 15KYA in the Americas.
3) Not one Levallois flake (MSA) in the Americas before 15kya (even though Africa
has a trillion on them)
4) Not one Acheulean hand axe found in the Americas
before 15KYA (and many of those after were imported illegally)
5) Not one visible hominin footprint left at Valsequillo, Cerutti, or anywhere else in the
Americas before 15 kya (they all did the disappearing act).
Update. There has been a new claim for a footprint @15,600 years
[
phys.org]
which is nowhere near 130kya, so no support there for the claim made at Cerutti.
6) Still no test results released for protein residues on the pseudo-tools.

"Can the researchers do anything else to back up their claim?
Yes. Deméré and his colleagues are currently examining the stone tools from the site for protein residues. If they really were used to smash the mastodon bone, microscopic bits of mastodon likely would have been ground into the rocks’ nooks and crannies."
7) The road machinery breakage arguments are still ongoing, so no update until that's settled.
