In follow up stories on the remarkable seaweed discoveries by Tom
Dillehay at Monte Verde, a National Science Foundation article adds
this information. Dillehay sees by the foodstuff he has found at the
site from both inland and coastal areas that people living at Monte
Verde moved back and forth between the areas frequently. Dillehay
believes this shows a slower more deliberate movement by the First
Americans than previously believed. The seaweed samples radio carbon
dates match the dates of the human artifacts Dillehay reported years
ago, 14,000 years ago. Dillehay pointed out that it takes time to
adapt to inland resources and then come back out to the coast. Along
with the seaweed, Dillehay has recently found five new species of sea
borne food thus showing the Monte Verde folks who lived 50 miles
inland had frequent contact with the coast and had a long tradition of
exploiting coastal resources again lending more credence to the
peopling of the Americas originally by canoe from Asia.
