The United States is under 250 years old, however, some of its maximum archaeological sites are older than the Vikings sailors, the Roman Empire and the pyramids.
Some sites, such as White Sands and Cooper’s Ferry, have skeptics about the precision of their age. However, they give a contribution to our understanding of some of the first Americans.
Others are more recent and highlight the other cultures than throughout the country, with complex buildings and illuminating pictograms.
Many of those puts are open to the public, so you can see the old story of yourself.
Prehistoric camels, mammoths and other giant people have traveled, which is now new, when it is greener and more humid.
While the weather warmed about 11,000 years ago, Lake Otero Water fell, revealing the digital footprints of humans who lived among those extinct animals. Some even to stick to a vague, providing a rare review of the habit of the old hunters.
Recent studies place some of these fossilized digital footprints between 21,000 and 23,000 years. If the dates are correct, the prior impressions to other archaeological sites in the United States, raising interesting questions that those other people were and how they reached the state of the southwest.
“Where do they come from?” Feder said. No parachute to New Mexico. They’ll have to come from somewhere else, which means there are still older sites. “Archaeologists simply haven’t discovered them yet.
While you can absorb the homonymous white sands, the footprints are recently prohibited.
In the 1970s, archaeologist James M. Adovasio caused a controversy when he and his colleagues stone teams and other artifacts discovered in southwest Pennsylvania belonged to humans who had lived in the domain 16,000 years ago.
Feder said that Advasio meticulously registered the site, but there is still no transparent consensus on the age of the oldest artifacts. However, he said: “This site is surely a vital, vital and vital site. ” This helped archaeologists realize that humans began arriving in the continent against the people of Clovis.
The excavation itself is exhibited in the History Center of Heinz, which allows you to see a search in person.
These rod teams are other Clovis harassed projectiles, researchers wrote in a 2019 clinical magazine.
Some scientists that humans had possibly traveled along the west coast at this time, when the huge layers of ice covered Alaska and Canada. “People who use boats, who use canoes can also jump along this coast and end in North America long before these glacial bodies were emerging,” Feder said.
They also discovered a mastodon defense with what seemed to reduce the marks through a tool. Other scientists have returned to the site more recently, raising more bones and tools. They used a radiocarbon dating, which established the site as a pre-clavis.
“The stone machinery and on the site show that at 14,550 years, other people knew how to locate the game, the new water and the device to make machinery,” said Michael Waters, one of the researchers, in a press release in 2016 “. ” These other people were well suitable for this environment. “
Since it is underwater and personal property, it is not open to visitors.
Every time other people arrived at the Americas, Siberia crossed Beringia, an area of land and sea between Russia and Canada and Alaska. It is now covered with water, however, once a land bridge that connects them.
In 1929, James Ridgley, 1929, 1929, discovered gigantic bones with striated projectile problems near Clovis, in New Mexico. The other Clovis people who made these teams were named for this site.
For decades after Whiteman’s discovery, the idea of the Mavens that the other people of Clovis were the first to cross the Bering d’Aring land bridge about 13,000 years ago. It is believed that the estimates of the arrival of humans are now at least 15,000 years ago.
Blackwater Draw Museum of the University of New Mexico in the East of New Mexico provides the archaeological site between April and October.
Based on the child’s genetic information, the researchers learned that he was connected to fashion asleans, but not directly. His non -unusual ancestors began to remarry genetically 25,000 years before dividing into two teams after a few thousand years: the ancient Berignians and the ancestors of the fashionable Americans.
According to this research, humans would possibly succeed in Alaska about 20,000 years ago.
The 4 galleries involve photographs of life size of anthropomorphic and animals figures in what is known as the Canyon barrier style. Much of this art is in Utah, produced through the archaic culture of the desert.
It is a complicated walk to succeed in pictograms (and the NPS warns that it can be dangerously hot in summer) but it is seeing in person, Feder said. “These are artistic geniuses,” he said about artists.
Located in the Navajo nation, Celly Canyon has magnificent perspectives of the desert and thousands of years of human history. Centuries ago, the ancestral teams and Hopi have planted cultures, created pictograms and built cliff houses.
More than 900 years ago, the other town of Puebloan built the White House, which bears the name of the shadow of their clay. Its upper floors are sitting in a sandstone cliff, with a transparent fall of the windows.
A white walk is the one that is open to the public without a Navajo or NPS Ranger guide.
The Mesa Verde National Park has a large number of homes, adding the Palais de Falaises. It has more than one hundred rooms and approximately two dozen kivas or ceremonial areas.
With the help of dendrocronology or trees dating, archaeologists learned when the ancestral people built some of those structures and that emigrated outside the doors of the region through the years 1300.
Feder said it was his favorite archaeological site he visited. “You don’t need to leave because you can’t be real,” he said.
Tourists can see many of those housing on the road, but some are also available after a walk. Some want more tickets and can congested, Feder said.
Cahokia called one of the first cities in North America. Not far from St. Louis existing, around 10,000 to 20,000 people lived in dense colonies about 1,000 years ago. The important buildings were sitting on the most sensible giant mounds, which the Mississippiens built by hand, The Guardian reported.
The other people of Sinagua have designed the construction of five stories and 20 rooms around 1100. It is curved to adhere to the herbal line of the cliff, which would have been more complicated than simply making a correct construction, Feder said.
