Named Rimrock Draw, the site - which was thought to have once been an ancient rock shelter - is now believed to date back a staggering 18,250 years. University of Oregon researchers working at the site unearthed two stone tools made from orange agate as well as extinct camel and bison teeth.
By Radiocarbon dating the enamel from the teeth, it was possible to determine how old they were.
"This early date aligns well with the oral histories of the tribal nations in the region, many of whom have stories about witnessing geological events like the Missoula floods, a series of events that changed everything for the tribes between 18,000 and 15,000 years ago,"

They date back 18,251 years.
That’s amazing! How do they date them so precisely?
They were 18,250 when I started working here a year ago.
“New evidence of early humans found in Oregon dates back 18,250 years”
Nancy Pelosi birth rediscovered again for sure!
There’s a huge butte in Washington state’s Scablands, 1500 feet above the land at its base, whose Indian name is “Above the Waters”.
I picture a flat mesa with a sharp cliff and a winding river below.
Thanks!
