Pre-Clovis Sites Part 1 - Ep 141

With the definitive dating of the “human” footprints at White Sands pushing back the earliest human occupation of North America to 21,000 to 23,000 years BP, we decided to take a look at several well known pre-Clovis sites. These sites are often controversial and heavily debated amongst archaeologists. We’ll discuss the findings from each site, why they are controversial, and what we think. In Part 1 we cover four of the youngest pre-Clovis Sites including, Paisley Cave in Oregon, Monte Verde in Chile, Gault in Texas and Topper in South Carolina.
