Description: Time Sifters Archaeology Society Lecture Series - The Pre-Clovis Page-Ladson Site: Implications for Our Understanding of the First Americans by Dr. Jessi Halligan, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Florida State University

Archaeologists have been searching for evidence of the earliest Americans for decades. Clovis points, dating to ca. 13,000 years ago, have long been considered this evidence. However, recent research at the inundated Page-Ladson site in the Aucilla River of northwestern Florida has demonstrated that people were here at least a millennium earlier than that because of the site’s well preserved organic remains and stone tools. When this site is placed within the context of recent paleo-environmental research, it has profound implications for when and how the first people could have arrived in the Americas.
