13,000-Year-Old Artifacts Unearthed in Alaska Reveal Secrets of Earth’s Earliest North American Settlers
Kelly E. Graf et al., Sci. Adv. 12, eaeh0802 (2026).Stone tools found at the site share characteristics with those discovered on the western side of the Bering Land Bridge, in northern Siberia.
Researchers also emphasized that the sheer amount and variety of archaeological finds trumps any discoveries made at previously-unearthed prehistoric camps elsewhere in the region, supporting the theory that Shég’ Xdaltth’i’ was a prominent settlement for some of the very first ancestral Native Americans.
Indeed, these discoveries provide unique insight into the lives of some of the earliest settlers to build communities on the North American continent roughly 13,800 years ago.
As Kelly Graf said, “It’s fascinating to me how people have evolved and how our meager beginnings as hunter-gatherers have led to where we are now.”
