When Venus Holdey accepted a research for New Mexico’s white sands in 2012, he did not know that he was stepping close to him, which would become one of the most important archaeological sites in the United States. While examining the trenches on the US military’s missile range, he was just 100 yards away from ancient human maps buried under the gypsum’s dunes. When they were detected in 2019, these prints became the most undeniable evidence that humans developed in North America during the last ice maximum. Before the culture of Kloos, it has long been considered to be the continent’s famous residents.
According to a science advance report, a new radio carbon analysis of ancient mud samples has once again confirmed that the prints were made between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago. The study, started by Hollydess and Doctorate student Jason Windstad, has reported that the first accepted evidence of New Mexico’s Klavis site is 10,000 years older. The previous dating was defective by seeds and jirgas, but with this third material – was analyzed in a separate lab – another level reliability.
The ancient stream beds flowing into the lakes of the ice age are surprisingly safe in the sesame seeds, although many of them have gone away from the wind cutting. The people who made prints are thought to be the hunter collectors, who are deliberately moving through the landscape, and who did not settle in any place or create a tool that survived to this day. Holdeai noted that the absence of antiquities did not discredit these results, as the groups were probably cautious about leaving valuable resources.
Windingstad, who has worked extensively in white sands, personally remarked the importance of viewing the tracks, recognizing that he has long challenged stories about early migration in the United States. He emphasized that the results of the new radio carbon are more than 55 dates and three labs. He mentioned, “This is against everything you have been trained.”
Holdeai noted that the results are so permanent that the evidence is difficult to dismiss. He added, “To the extent that we are here, it will be very much needed to the extent that it is.” White sand marks are no longer irregularities for people who study people in the United States – they are a new basis for understanding.
