Meadowcroft Rockshelter

History
5
Meadowcroft Rockshelter is a deeply stratified archaeological site whose deposits span nearly 16,000 years. Discovered in 1973 by Albert Miller and excavated by University of Pittsburgh archaeologists, it revealed North America's earliest known evidence of human presence and the New World's longest sequence of human occupation. All of eastern North America's major cultural stages appear in its remarkably complete archaeological record.
