12,500-Year-Old Site Discovered in USA | Younger Dryas Era

An ancient settlement that dates back approximately 12,500 years has been discovered in Connecticut in the United States. The site was discovered during preparations for the construction of a bridge over the Farmington River in Avon.

On discovering the ancient site, archaeologists moved in and found an open fire pit and a number of posts from temporary housing, but amazingly, more than 15,000 artefacts have been discovered, most of which were ancient tools.
