In the world today, there is a common held belief, that thousands of years ago, as the world counts time, Mongolian nomads crossed a land bridge to enter the Western Hemisphere, and became the people known as the American Indians. There is, it can be said, some scanty evidence to support the myth of the land bridge. But there is enormous wealth of proof that the other truths are all valid

This Web Site and Research is focused on Pre Clovis or Pre 13,100 CALBP archaeology sites in the Western Hemisphere (the Americas)

Acknowledging, recovering and decolonizing; Indigenous peoples past.

The archaeology sites listed on the data base page refute the Clovis First theory, which claimed that the indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere (the Americas) have been here no earlier than 13,100 CALBP OR 11,200 RCYBP. There are thousands of dated and published archaeology sites which Pre Date 13,100 CALBP OR 11,200 RCYBP in both North and South America. Many of these sites have been re-evaluated and legitimized, a number are National Historic Landmarks (NHL) and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites

For thousands of years Indigenous people have walked the lands of  the Western Hemisphere (the Americas). Evidence suggests that they have been here for over 50,000 years.

Many archaeologists have spent their lives gathering data that argues for a much earlier initial habitation of The Americas by Indigenous People. They faced severe criticism in academic circles but yet held strong to their convictions.

I am sincerely indebted to many such as Ruth Gruhn, Steve Holen, Tom Dillehay, Scotty MacNeish, E. Lanning, James Adovasio, Ruth Simpson, Alan Bryan, J. Cinq-Mars, and many others whose research is listed in the data base.

*******************************

There are over 400 pre 13,100 CALBP or Pre Clovis archaeology sites listed on the data base page. We know of over 2,000 recorded and dated pre Clovis sites and they will be added in the future
