Chiquihuite Cave - (Zacatecas, Mexico)

This cave in the Astillero Mountains is one of the most important archaeological discoveries for estimating early human habitation in North America.

Here Archaeologists unearthed stone artifacts suggesting human occupation dating back to around 30,000 years ago (Maybe even as far back as 33,000 years ago!).

This places human presence in the Americas much earlier than previously accepted. These claims are based on lithic (stone) artifacts found within the cave's stratified layers!
