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

Successful Movement of Peoples Across Water is AncientAustralia was colonized by sea40,000 to 50,000 years ago (ya)

Wallace Strait

ocean.

Boats needed.

Paradigm: Ice Free CorridorOpened c 11,500 years ago.

Corridor Enabled First Occupants: Clovis Culture

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)

Hypothesis with Strong Evidence:Comet Melts Glaciers, Kills Megafauna

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.
