Funny. I have some Chumash artifacts in my collection that date back to almost 8000 yearsI think the issue here is whether the oldest inhabitants of the continent were American Indians. Kennewick Man wasn't American Indian, notwithstanding the Bush Administration's siding with Indians to prevent further scientific study.
To: camas
"wasn't the kennewick man found in washington about 7500 years old." No. He was 9,300 years old and 'Spirit Cave Man' (the oldest mummy in America) was 9,400 years old. (They look very similar)
Arlington Springs Woman is the oldest human skeleton ever found in the Americas.

BTW I know the guys who found Kennewick man. They were drunk and trying to sneak into the hydroplane races when they found him.

"notwithstanding the Bush Administration's siding with Indians to prevent further scientific study." Nope, that was the Clinton administration and the court ruled in favor of the scientists. It is presentlt back in court on appeal. (Kennewick Man)

Beatles's Lyrics -
Norwegian Wood I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, isnt it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasnt a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "its time for bed".
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didnt and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown.
So I lit a fire, isnt it good, norwegian wood.

"Don't you love it when they find a civilization?" I do. We found one earlier this week off the coast of India...I think it was 7,500 years old too.

I am a direct descendant of this 7,500 year old tribe and the damn Indians tribes need to give back my land they stole from my ancestors. Especially Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos.

To: blam
you are lagging by about 2000 years, maybe more. I believe the early date is about 10,000 years.

I have a scraping tool, found it on Ft. Meade grounds about 20 years ago (under a couple inches of dirt), cut from unimpressive quartz but *perfectly* sculpted for the human hand, and a reasonably sharp scraping edge.
No one should dig around Ft. Meade, lots of unexploded ordnance including a full, unused belt of .50 cal uncovered the same day I found the scraper.

I think the term "civilization" is not correct here.

I think the term "civilization" is not correct here.civ·i·li·za·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sv-l-zshn) n.
(1)An advanced state of intellectual, cultural, and material development in human society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of record-keeping, including writing, and the appearance of complex political and social institutions.
(2)The type of culture and society developed by a particular nation or region or in a particular epoch: Mayan civilization; the civilization of ancient Rome.
(3)The act or process of civilizing or reaching a civilized state.
(4)Cultural or intellectual refinement; good taste.
(5)Modern society with its conveniences: returned to civilization after camping in the mountains.
I think (2) might apply.

I handled a rock the other day from Illinois about the size of a dinner plate, slate. Around the edge were letters in the old Phoenician dialect. You know, that place just north of Israel, 3500 years ago? The fellow who showed me can translate that stuff. He knows where there are 4 more of them. They were left in caves adjacent to river junctions and they tell the destinations up the different channels.
Talk about a shiver.

The Clovis culture is at least 11,000 years old.

You are right.
To me, civilization implies certain things, notably cites. The Harrappans had a civilization. The plains and woodland Indians did not - they had a culture. That is what I was thinking here.
Thanks.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the 9-ft. tall human(oid)s dressed in battle armor that were dug up in the mounds in Ohio. Probably just an oversight.
