Ancient Artifact Preservation SocietyAAPS documents & disseminates evidence of
contact between ancient America & Europe or Asia from 11,000 to 600 years ago (ya)
AAPS shows that many people came to ancient America in many boats from many places.
Goal is for this knowledge to be accepted into mainstream high school programs

ocean.
Boats needed.

Corridor Enabled First Occupants: Clovis Culture
Clovis(11,000 ya)
Japan Current Route
Evidence Confirms Americas Populated c. 30,000 to 18,000 ya---Must Have Been By Sea
Maximum Ice Sheet18-14,000 years ago
Meadowcroft(15-13,000 ya)Cactus Hill(15-13,000 ya)Topper Site(19-16,000 ya)

13,000 years ago
School textbooks deny any contact for 10,000 years!
North America treated as isolated, despite flourishing indigenous population and evidence of contact.
