Scientific reports revealed on Tuesday that archaeologists in the mountains of Oregon, USA, have found a remote rock shelter that could change prevailing historical concepts about the first inhabitants of North America.
The reports stated that “initial findings indicate that the site was inhabited by humans approximately 18,250 years ago, a date that makes the site one of the oldest known human settlements on the continent, and four times the age of Egypt’s Great Pyramid.”
She added that “these results challenge the long-held theory that early humans arrived on the continent from Asia via an ice corridor only 13,000 years ago, and instead support the hypothesis that they arrived earlier via the Pacific coast before the inland route became passable.”
She noted that “a team from the University of Oregon discovered finely crafted stone tools made of orange agate buried under a layer of volcanic ash from Mount St. Helens volcano, alongside fossilized teeth of extinct camels and bison, which radiocarbon dating proved to be 18,250 years old.”
The reports continued, “Archaeologists confirmed that the presence of stone tools beneath these animal teeth indicates human activity at the site predates 18,000 years, proving that the early inhabitants were innovators who crafted sewn clothing, baskets, and traps, and were not simply simple hunters.”
