(1) In this episode of the ArchaeoDuck series, Chloe Duckworth introduces us to her dig at the Alhambra in Spain and to some of her field crew. (2) The archaeology of the peopling of the Americas has undergone a paradigm shift. The story of the first humans here is more complex and dates significantly earlier than what was thought back in the 90s. This film details the archaeology that has led to this point and what data we still need to detail the actual story. The Gault Site in Texas is a prism through which to understand this change in thinking.
