We present new data on the stratigraphy, dating and tephrochonology at the most important Paleoindian sites in the Basin of Mexico. These include: a) Peñon Woman III, with the oldest directly radiocarbon dated human remains (10,755 ± 75 BP); b) Tlapa...

Felstead, N., Gonzalez, S., Huddart, D., Noble, S., Hoffman, D., Metcalfe, S., …Jiménez-López, J. (2014). Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrocienegas Basin, NE Mexico. Journal of Archaeological Science, 42, 250-259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2013.11.010

Two sets of well-preserved human footprints have been found in tufa sediments in the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico, and here we present their U-series dates of 10.55 ± 0.03 ka and 7.24 ± 0.13 ka. The former are the oldest known footprints in Mexico... Read More about Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrocienegas Basin, NE Mexico.
