It seems that every year discoveries push back the date for the first Americans. The January edition of the National Geographic magazine features an article on the discovery of a young teenaged girl who fell to her death into one of the many cenotes, or sink holes, in Central American Yucatan 12,000 to 13,000 years ago. Although this date is roughly the date Clovis points were being manufactured in New Mexico and does not push back the date of first Americans, of significance is its connection to the “Kennewick Man” discovered along the Columbia River in Washington.
