“When did people first arrive in North America?â€
This question has been at the heart of North American archeological and paleoenvironmental research for generations. Recent discoveries in New Mexico confirm the presence of humans much earlier than previously thought.
United States Geological Survey scientists Jeff Pigatti, Ph.D., and Kathleen Springer, Ph.D., will discuss their exciting new research which has upended traditional ideas about the peopling of the Americas and fundamentally changed the very foundations of North American archaeology.
