“As we return to time, while we have other people who are getting smaller and smaller, locating those positions and interpreting them becomes increasingly difficult,” said archaeologist Kenneth Feder a Business Insider. He is “ancient America: fifty archaeological sites to see through yourself. “
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.
Prehistoric camels, mammoths and other giant people have traveled, which is now new, when it is greener and more humid.
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.
In the 1970s, archaeologist James, Mr. Adovasio, caused controversy when he and his colleagues that the stone team and other artifacts discovered in southwest Pennsylvania belonged to humans who had lived in the region 16,000 years ago.
At that time, the skeptics said that evidence of appointments in the imperfect radiocarbon, AP News reported in 2016. During the years that followed, more places that seem greater than 13,000 years in the United States have been discovered.
Feder said that Advasio had meticulously looked for the site, but that 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.
Cooper’s ferry is in the classic nose of the Perce nose, which the land administration office has in public property.
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.
Located in the center of Oregon-South, the caves seem to be a piece of the puzzle that indicates how humans have the continent thousands of years ago.
The in Alaska with the oldest evidence of human housing is Swan Point, in the region of the central-east of the State. In addition to the 14,000 -year -old teams and homes, gigantic bones were discovered there.
Researchers think this domain was a type of seasonal hunting camp. While the mammoths returned safe periods for years, humans would adhere to them and killed them, offering abundant food to hunters-gatherers.
Although Alaska can have a richness of archaeological evidence of the first Americans, it is also a difficult position to dig. “His excavation season is very close and expensive,” Feder said. Some require a helicopter to achieve, for example.
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.
Archaeologists discovered the bones of the child in 2013. Local teams call it xach’ite’anenh t’eede gay, or dawn girl. Genetic tests revealed that the 11,300 -year -old baby belonged to a Amerindian population in the unknown past, the ancient Beringios.
Although it rises, the multicolored walls of the Horseshoe canyon have attracted visitors for a long time. Some of its artifacts return between 9,000 and 7,000 a. C. , but its pictograms are more recent. Some tests date from safe sections of around 2,000 to 900 years.
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.
The other people of Navajo, also known as Diné, still live in Canyon de Chelly. Diné Alastair journalist Lee Bitsóí recently wrote about some of the sacred and taboo areas. They come with Tsé Yaa Kin, where archaeologists have discovered human remains.
A white walk is the one that is open to the public without a Navajo or NPS Ranger guide.
In early 1900, two shaped the Leling Association of Coliff Coliff, hoping to maintain the ruins in the state region of the Southwest. A few years later, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an invoice that designates the Green Mesa as the first national park aimed at “maintaining the works of man. “
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.
The population built posts of posts, which an archaeologist called “Woodhenges”, as a type of calendar. In the solstices, the sun rises or lies aligned with other mounds.
Although Cahokia is open to the public, the portions are recently closed for renovations.
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.
“These other people were architects,” he said. “They had a feeling of beauty. “
The population was also practical, discovering irrigation systems and structure techniques, such as thick walls and shaded spots, to help them in the warm and dry climate.
