Florida sinkhole yields earliest known peopling of Southeast
New excavations at a Florida sinkhole 30 miles southeast of Tallahassee uncover a stone knife and artifacts dated about 14,500 years ago, making the site the oldest well documented in the southeastern United States. Researchers credit improved dating and a mastodon tusk analysis for the stronger evidence, suggesting ancient visitors may have wintered southward like snowbirds as they followed migrations.
