Oldest Artifact in the Americas Unearthed

It's being reported that archaeologists have found the oldest known artifact in a cave in Oregon. The tool is some sort of scraper and is said to date back 14,230 years."

Scientific American writes, "[W]hether the cave dwellers were Clovis people or belonged to an earlier culture is uncertain. None of the Clovis people's distinct fluted spear and arrow points have been found in the cave."

Last year, the same team discovered some rather ancient poop that indicated the people it came from were predominately vegetarian (see picture).
