Abstract

ARCHAEOLOGYAt the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, held last week in Philadelphia, a team of researchers presented evidence that humans camped many times on a site in Virginia dated to 18,000 years ago. Distinctive stone tools, found at a site called Cactus Hill, lie below artifacts typical of the Clovis people, who take their name from an 11,500-year-old site in Clovis, New Mexico. Many researchers are wary of the dates, but others say the results are a strike against the theory that the Clovis hunters were the first to people the Americas.
