WELCOME to Camp’s DIG about the Great Migrations into North America ------- The Peopling of North America --------

Camp Guide: . . . . Tue, Sep 25, 8:48AM PST (-0800 GMT)
Think about this – North America once was covered with swamps and dinosaurs … no people lived here ……… and then it was covered by sheets of ice and large shaggy beasts and fierce cats and wolves …. And still no people lived here …….. How DID people get to North America and where from ? Where did they live – and hoe did they survive – once they arrived ??? LET’S FIND OUT !

Camp Guide: . . . . Tue, Sep 25, 8:48AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG #1 – When did people start arriving in North America ? What land route did they take ? button

Camp Guide: . . . . Tue, Sep 25, 8:49AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG #2 – Scientists think there were also possible sea routes used in the migration across and around the Pacific Ocean. Read here button to learn where these sea going people may have come from and where there is evidence that they may have landed and lived.

Camp Guide: . . . . Tue, Sep 25, 8:49AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG #3 – One of the most important scientific discoveries about the GREAT MIGRATION was the bones of a woman from San Nicolas island off the California Coast. Only in recent years has it been discovered how long ago she lived on this remote island. When did she live there ? How could she have gotten there ? button

Camp Guide: . . . . Tue, Sep 25, 8:49AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG #4 - When the Arlington Springs people lived on Santa Rosa Island, small wooly mammoths called pygmy mammoths lived there at the same time. Draw us a picture of this woman on Santa Rosa, making friends with a little pygmy wooly mammoth, and we will send a wooden mammoth kit to the classroom who sends us the best picture ! Teachers - Send the pictures (digital, painted or drawn) to Camp Headquarters

Camp Guide: . . . . Tue, Sep 25, 8:50AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG #5 – There evidence of even older human life in New Mexico. Read about Pendego Cave here and tell us what scientists have found that leads them to think people were living here during the Ice Age. How old do they think it was that thee first people lived there ? And what do they use to date the cave’s human occupation ? button

Camp Guide: . . . . Tue, Sep 25, 8:53AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG #6 – What migration route have we learned about today that is NOT on this map and is not on the animated map at the top of the DIG ? The reason it is not on the map is because it is such a NEW idea that it was not even believed when these maps were fairly recently made. See how knowledge changes and grows ? One discovery at a time – THAT is the life of a scientist. What now-proven ROUTE is missing from these maps ?
