Archeologist James Adavasio, then teaching at Pitt, excavates Meadowcroft Rockshelter near Pittsburgh with a group of students, uncovering campfire remains carbon dated as 19,000 years old - showing that Indigenous people were in North America thousands of years earlier than the prevailing theories indicated. Meadowcroft remains one of the oldest known sites of human habitation in North America and is a National Historic Landmark.
