They Found Tools in Texas That Belong to an Unknown Human Race

Buried under a creek bank in Central Texas is a layer of stone tools that matches nothing else ever found on Earth. Not older Clovis. Not Western Stemmed. Nothing. For fifty years, the Gault Site near Florence, Texas was a pay-to-dig field where anyone could hand over twenty five dollars and carry away whatever they found. In 1929, the first trained archaeologist in Texas stood right on top of it and walked away. It took one man sixteen years, his own savings, and a decision to give the land away to finally protect what was down there. Then the dating came back: 18,500 years old. Thousands of years before Clovis. And the spear points belong to a people with no name, no known relatives, and nobody alive to claim them. Today the site sits deliberately reburied, waiting for better science. #GaultSite #PreClovis #Archaeology #Texas #AncientHistory #ClovisFirst #FirstAmericans #IceAge #StoneTools #ArchaeologyNews #LostCivilization #TexasHistory #PeoplingOfTheAmericas #AncientAmerica #Prehistory
