Summary
Archaeologist Scott Dersam’s jaw-dropping discovery in the Beartooth Mountains is rewriting history: Clovis people, thought to have stayed in lower elevations 13,000 years ago, were actually thriving high in the mountains—even when ice should’ve covered the land. His nonprofit team is uncovering entire sites, not just scattered tools, challenging old assumptions about their lifestyle and migration. Dersam, a former food industry exec who returned to school for this passion, brings a deep respect for Indigenous knowledge and the land’s ancient stories. Now, with soil, pollen, and artifact analysis underway, they’re piecing together how these resilient early humans adapted to extreme environments—and how this could reshape our understanding of North America’s earliest inhabitants.
