Since when are means of transport? Early evidence of transport technology used by the first American settlers were found. This demonstrates the use of a certain type of millenary transport vehicle in the US. I would be more than 20 thousand years old.
The University of Bournemouth directed the research. He discovered a series of trawls, probably caused by improvised vehicles made with wood posts. They were next to old human footprints in the White Sands National Park, New Mexico.

Previous studies of the researchers discovered that some traces in the Park Datan from 23 thousand years ago. This rewrites the story by delaying the date of the oldest human activity in the Americas. «Our first ancestors had to use some type of transport while migrating around the world. But the evidence was missing ». Professor Matthew Bennett at Bournemouth University said it in a statement. “These drag brands indicate how they moved heavy and bulky loads before vehicles with wheels.”
Some of the traces that the team found were formed by a single line. It was probably created by dragging two posts united by one end. Other footprints consisted of two parallel lines. He suggests that they were made of two posts, crossed in the middle. Vehicles made with posts united in this way are called «Travois». It is known that they were used in the history of North America from stories of indigenous peoples.
The length of the traces discovered in this study varies from two to fifty meters. Human footprints suggest that the brought were thrown by people, instead of animals. Many of the footprints around the footprints seem to be children.
Experiment
How was the existence of this millenary transport vehicle validated in the US? The team put together its own simple one you brought with wooden posts. They were dragged by the marshes of the coast of Maine, United States. “Our footprints and lines in the mud of the posts had the same appearance as the fossilized examples we found,” they said.
Each discovery in White Sands helps to understand the lives of the first people who settled in the Americas. These people were the first migrants who traveled to North America. Understanding more about how they moved is vital to tell their story. ”
