Listeros,
Tom Dillehay, the excavator of Monte Verde, the first Pre-Clovis site
in the Americas that received the acceptance of the entire scientific
community as being genuinely Pre-Clovis, has been investigating the
presence of seaweed found in fragments on the floors of habitation
sites and on an ancient cutting tool at Monte Verde. The nearest
shore is hours away. Many seaweed fragments have been found in
cooking
areas suggesting seaweed was food and others were mixed with other
plants and chewed to be used for medicine.
The discovery of these seaweed fragments lends further credence to
the
concept that the earliest Americans were used to relying on ocean
resources, thus reached Monte Verde by canoe 14,000 years ago.
