The Paleoindian Database of North America

The Paleoindian Database of North America (PDNA) is a comprehensive digital collection of archaeological sites and artifacts from the earliest human inhabitants of the continent, dating back around 13,000 years. It compiles data from research studies to help scientists understand migration patterns, settlement strategies, and cultural developments of these ancient peoples. The database enables researchers to analyze spatial and temporal relationships across regions, offering insights into how Paleoindians adapted to diverse environments at the end of the last Ice Age. It serves as a valuable resource for studying North America's early human history systematically and collaboratively.
