Pre-Clovis evidence keeps piling up: Meadowcroft Rockshelter (16,000 yrs) and sites like Page-Ladson (14,550 yrs) challenge the Clovis-first model. Brazilian sites like Pedra Furada also show early occupation signs. 🌎
Key facts claimed:
- White Sands, New Mexico contains evidence dating to over 20,000 years ago
- Meadowcroft Rockshelter in Pennsylvania is dated to 16,000-19,000 years ago
- The G Site in Austin, Texas shows evidence potentially dating to 19,000-23,000 years ago
- Pedra Furada in Brazil has rock art that may be pushing 50,000 years
- A mammoth tusk site near San Diego shows evidence of marrow extraction
