Ancient (Pre-Clovis) remains found in Tamaulipas, mexico Mexican - TopicsExpress



          

Ancient (Pre-Clovis) remains found in Tamaulipas, mexico Mexican archaeologist found 30 very ancient human skeletons in the cave of La Grave in Tamaulipas. They are extracting DNA and taking radiocarbon tests and measuring skull morphology, and have concluded that these skeletal remains are Pre-Clovis in date. The radiocarbon dates on the teeth and a backpack fragment found in the same cave are dated to 1387-1195 BCE. The DNA shows they are related to haplotype C, which is associated with early settlers of America. They will continue to test genetic data and physio-chemical data to complement what has been learned so far. (My note; This would appear to be the third site that has a good amount of Pre-Clovis proof. The other two would be at Monte Verde, Chile and Paisley Cave in Oregon. All three of these sites have human DNA proof and human artifact proof). INAH has the story here with a slide show (click on the tiny white camera icon); bit.ly/1cEaRpE
