The site, discovered in 1972 by Donald Kline, reveals human presence in eastern North America dating back to 11,000 BCE through carbon dating.
The location yielded 65,000 Native American artifacts, including Clovis spearpoints and evidence of diverse food practices including seeds, fruits, and fish.
