- For decades, students were taught that the Clovis culture represented the first peoples in the New World. As more evidence surfaced and older sites are reexamined, we’re forced to revise the story of the peopling of the Americas. Explore what researchers now believe really went on with Dr. D. Clark Wernecke, the retired Director of the Prehistory Research Project at the University of Texas at Austin and the nonprofit Gault School of Archaeological Research. Revealing new hypotheses for the peopling of the Americas begins here… Enjoy!

Dr. Teeth does give an entertaining and informative lecture.
Hello, thanks for a fascinating talk. I'm one of the people who worked the Buckwheat sight near Weatherford, Texas. We dug up what we could of a mammoth and found a projectile point my associate claims is similar to ones found at the Gault sight. We've been working on the bones since 2017 minus the time we lost due to Covid. Hope to get a carbon fourteen date in the near future.
Let us know when they come back!
Back in about August of 1993 my Wife and I were driving on the Southernmost Paved Road traveling West out of Del Rio, TX, toward Alpine and in between Del Rio and Alpine TX we stopped at a Road Side Store where an American Indian was managing the small country store, and we struck up a conversation as he had some fossils and other curious items in the store. He explained to me that several years previously that he had been hunting in the Mountains or hills near his Store location in Texas and came across a clear foot print in the rock - I am not at all sure if on a creek bottom or hill side but my impression that the foot print was in rock on a hill side, or lower portion of it. He attempted to re-trace his steps at times but was unable to locate the foot print in rock. This reminds me of the foot prints at white sands NM, which in a Geographical sense is not all that far away distance wise, and likely of similar time line. It always stuck in my mind, and I have never forgotten the American Indian who told me about his find of the well defined foot print in rock.
Love this. Detailed, reasonable, process oriented, measured sense of nuance. I am 76, spent early years 12/13 in NW Arkansas with rescue work as building Beaver Dam. At time I felt far more logical for immigration by sea along NW coast. These were people with our own mental facilities. If you can Canoe across most of Canada today, I felt they could make it down a sea coast then, fishing along the way.
Professor CW is always a joy to hear. Thank you to him and many other researchers striving for our collective past.
Thank you for your service, Dr. Wernecke. The work of you and your colleagues makes me proud to be from Texas. Go, Team Gault.
The presenter here is one smart and talented person.
I found similar artifacts in NW WI. Along the upper St Croix River. Lots of artifacts. I have reason to believe it was an ancient village
Always love a talk by Dr CW. Thank you! Very interesting and well done.
Thank you for this Video Aztlander
Thank you Dr. Wernecke
Very good talk with a very good speaker, thank you!
I like the idiots guide name… I’m just barely scraping the surface (kinda literally) but I’ve found a stone bowl, arrowheads and other artifacts dating from as early 8,000-12,000 years ago through to the Late Woodland period - when my ancestor purchased the very land I live on today.
There was an excavation done in my back yard in Berkley, MA (Bear Site I & Site II, Arthur Staples, Bulletin of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society, Vol.30) which found some amazing sites. I live directly across the Taunton River from the Sweets Knoll Site and Boats Site, the latter of which dates back 10,000-12,000 years ago.
The Inuit migrated without a land bridge, ice free corridor, or coastal migration route. Why must the paradigm that earlier migrations avoid the ice? Roald Admudsen proved that their technology surpassed 20th century British technology and the ice was a highway in itself. It does often seem that the paradigm of ice as an impossible barrier exists. I dismiss arguments that reject archeological dates based on the existence or non existence of any route at a particular date. Beringia need not exist nor a theoretical ice free corridor.
So, I've found, what I'm calling a skinning stone in Rockwall County Texas
How do I compare with other artifacts found in north Texas?
Ancient history is essential for everyone to know, especially the sixteen original civilizations.
1. The first inhabitants of Italy (K)
2. Thracians (L)
3. Siberians (N)
4. East Assists (O)
5. Medes (PQ)
6.. Western Europeans (R)
7. Mediterranean Greek sea people (T)
8. Hebrews and Arabic (IJ)
9. Elamites (H)
10. Assyrians (G)
11. Arameans (F1)
12. Lydians (F2)
13. Cushites (AB, C & D)
14. Egyptians (E3)
15. Canaanites (E2)
16. Original North African Phoenicians (E1)
So what do the genetics say? I think 'transient' might be another word that needs some clarification...
Short answer; insufficient data.
The idea that multiple cultures must have a common pre-cursor seems without basis.
Another brilliant food source for Solutreans travelling to America from Europe along the sea ice edge would be polar bears. Of course they knew how to fish as well and would have taken supplies too. Along with the seals and seabirds mentioned they had plenty of food options. Besides they were already exploiting those sources back in Europe.
Someone found similar technology in England.
Similar to what? The video mentions a bunch of technologies.

I have just been reading a book about this very topic, the movement away from Clovis culture to the discovery of much older sites in North America and Central and South America. This video was a very good synopsis of the book. Thanks so much!
