Abstract

The article discusses the archaeological research conducted in Montana to determine when humans first arrived in the region. Key sites like Anzick and Lindsay Mammoth have provided evidence of human presence over eleven thousand years ago, linking Indigenous peoples to their ancestors in northeast Asia and Siberia. While some debate remains about the human predation at the Lindsay Mammoth site, researchers continue to explore pre-Clovis sites across North America to understand early human migrations. The article highlights the importance of archaeological data in uncovering the history of Montana's first peoples and their connections to broader migration patterns. [Extracted from the article]
