These Tools Beneath a Texas Creek Belong to a Tradition No One Expected

Discover the Gault site in Texas, where researchers found evidence of human life predating the famous Clovis culture. Archaeological research at the Gault site has uncovered over 150,000 stone artifacts buried deep beneath typical Clovis layers. These findings, dated between 16,000 and 20,000 years ago, suggest that regional groups inhabited North America long before previously accepted timelines. We examine the specific Pre-Clovis tools found in these sediment layers, including projectile points and blades that display unique manufacturing methods. By analyzing these artifacts, we can better understand the early human migration patterns and the distinct cultures that existed within Texas archaeology.
