Disputed finds put humans in South America 22,000 years ago
Brazilian site may have been home to people before the Clovis hunters
争议性的发现，两万两千年前在南美的人类
在克洛维斯猎人之前，巴西即有人居
Stone tools unearthed at a Brazilian rock-shelter may date to as early as
22,000 years ago. Their discovery has rekindled debate about whether ancient
people reached the Americas long before the famed Clovis hunters spread through
parts of North America around 13,000 years ago.
在巴西一处石窟（Toca da Tira Peia rock-shelter）出土的石器，被认为是22000年前之
物。此发现可能重启一项辩论，关于是否有比著名的一万三千年前北美克洛维斯文化
（Clovis hunters,Clovis Culture）还要更早抵达美洲的人
These relics of ancient South Americans add to evidence from nearby sites
challenging the longstanding view of Clovis people as the first Americans,
a team led by geochronologist Christelle Lahaye of the University of Bordeaux 3
and archaeologist Eric Boëda of the University of Paris X reports March 4 in
the Journal of Archaeological Science.
长久以来，克洛维斯人被认为是最早抵达美洲的人类，此次发现的遗迹，为挑战此论点增
加了一项证据，这个团队是由波尔多第三大学的地质年代学家 Christelle Lahaye 及巴黎
第五大学的考古学家 Eric Boëda 所带领，发表于三月四日的考古学期刊（Journal of
Archaeological Science）
"We have new, strong evidence that the Clovis-first model is out of date,"
Lahaye says.
Lahaye 说"我们有新的、有力的证据，说明"克洛维斯-第一"模式已经过时了"
