An article published over a year atov(May 2024) tells about an American geologist, who has authored several papers, and specializes in geology, Darrin Lowery who reported finding tools dated to around 22,000 years ago.
Over the course of several years, Lowery has visited Parsons Island in Maryland, US, 93 times, and collected stone tools, flakes chipped from them, hammer stones, knives, and scrapers. They were found in an embankment that is eroding due to the action of the waves and tides. Some have been dated using radiocarbon to ages between 20,500 and 22,600 years.
Lowery's findings have been met with skepticism by the orthodox archaeologists as he hasn't yet published them in a peer-reviewed publication.
Most of the stone tools have been found on the ground, after falling out of the embankment, but nine were found in place, in the sediments of the cliff. He has dated them to around 22,000 years ago. At that time most of Canada was buried by a mile-thick ice field, the Last Ice Age was still going strong. So the question is how could have these first Americans reach Maryland from Asia?
However, Lowery retorts that Beringian wolves managed to cross the ice corridor between Beringia and the lower 48 states, so why couldn't humans do the same.
See the paper published by Lowery in 2021 (Parsons Island, Maryland: Synthesis of Geoarchaeological Investigations, 2013-2020 ) which "attempts to explain the presence of humans at Parsons Island and other sites in the Middle Atlantic between 15,000 and 20,000 years ago." It has plenty of information and photos of the site and the stone artifacts.
