The year 2018 might have brought an answer to one of the biggest American archaeology questions and that is – who were the first people to live in America? Until very recent times, at schools children studied that the first people to live in the territory of America were named Clovis, a culture that derived to North America from Siberia around 13,000 years ago. But after doing more in-depth research, scholars firmly beleive that people might have come to America far earlier than that. Excavations in Texas revealed previously unknown objects that are dated earlier than 13,000 years, amongst these tools, were blades, projectile points, and flake tools oldest of which date to between 20,000 and 16,000 years ago making them thousands of years older than any objects known to belong to the Clovis people
