...decade of digging, Dillehay's team found an unparalleled array of artifacts, including not only stone tools and animal bones but also chunks of mastodon meat, wild potatoes, and seaweed and other plants that must have been imported from the Pacific coast, some 40 miles away. The archaeologists discovered fire pits surrounded by burned wood chips, wooden lances with hardened tips, wooden basins containing seeds, grindstones -- and a human footprint.
