The research at White Sands continues.

Each field season produces new data — new trackway surfaces identified and documented, new samples collected for dating, new analyses of the relationship between human and animal tracks in the same sediment horizons.

The picture that emerges from this ongoing work becomes more detailed and more complex with each study.

The broader pre-Clovis debate continues as well.

Other sites are being investigated, other ancient genomes are being sequenced, other geological archives are being examined for evidence of human presence earlier than the Clovis horizon.

The combination of improved ancient DNA methods, expanded application of luminescence and other non-radiocarbon dating approaches, and increased attention to site types and environments that might preserve earlier evidence is producing a steady stream of new findings that continue to revise the timeline and the migration models.
