Dry Creek Archeological Site, Archaeological site near Healy, Alaska, US
The site contains four distinct layers within a two-meter cap above weathered glacial outwash on the northern flanks of the Alaska Range.
Researchers discovered over 3,500 stone artifacts dating back to 11,000 years ago, confirming human migration across the Bering Land Bridge.
The excavated stone tools and animal processing remains reveal patterns of early indigenous hunting practices and adaptations to environmental changes.
The location remains restricted from public access under federal and state laws to protect the archaeological resources from potential damage.
The deepest soil layer contains a stone scraping tool with a triangular head measuring 31 by 16 millimeters among thousands of stone flakes.
