Paleo-human footprints dotting White Sands National Park in New Mexico are 23,000 to 21,000 years old, making them the oldest known fossilized trackways left by people in North America, a new study finds. However, not everyone agrees with the results.
The White Sands trackway is now the oldest site in North America with direct evidence of humans and it significantly pushes back the arrival date of the first Americans."When the first paper came out, a lot of archaeologists reached out and told us, 'It was just a matter of time. We knew that people were here earlier,'" said Jeffrey Pigati, who co-lead the study with Kathleen Springer. Both are U.S.
In the rebuttal, Davis and his colleagues suggested the White Sands group use optically stimulated luminescence dating, a technique that estimates how much time has passed since quartz or feldspar grains were last exposed to intense heat or sunlight.The team examined quartz grains under the footprints with OSL dating. They found that the layers with the footprints had a minimum age of about 21,500 years old.
