Last month, two archaeologists stumbled upon 88 ancient human footprints in the Great Salt Lake Desert. The tracks could be up to 12,000 years old. ago
The 88 footprints, belonging to both children and adults, were discovered last month in the Great Salt Lake Desert.
At first, Duke was skeptical that they had actually found footprints. He spent three days with his nose to the ground, vetting them. Finding out they were actually boot prints from the last decade would have been rather anticlimactic, after all. The discovery was technically on what is now the Utah Test and Training Range, managed by the U.S. Air Force. Hill Air Force Base consults with 21 Native American tribes about archaeological sites in the area.
Duke said the region would have been like an ancient New York City, a central hub of life. After these people stepped ankle-deep in mud 12,000 years ago, water and sand immediately filled in their prints, preserving their shape. “These [footprints] are still connected to living cultures,” Kitterman said. “And to be able to be out there with some of the tribal members...these are their forefathers.” These footprints formed when the Great Salt Lake Desert was a wetland during the Pleistocene age. Sand and water rushed into tracks left in the mud, preserving the prints to today.First, Duke wants to date the footprints directly.
“Erosion has revealed them, and now erosion stands to destroy them,” Duke said. “So there’s some pressure to do research on them to get what we can before they disappear.”
