Most people are intrigued by archaeology, and the idea of digging up belongings of civilizations long past, to get a glimpse of the ancients’ daily lives. Today’s technology allows scientists to pinpoint almost exactly how old these artifacts are.

So just where were the oldest artifacts in the US found? One might think in the northeastern states, or possible California. But the oldest artifacts ever found In the United States were found in the southeastern US. The oldest was found along the Savannah River, the dividing line between Georgia and South Carolina; the next-oldest in the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve on Black Hammock Island off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, dating to 2500 BC. The pottery shard is believed to be part of an olive jar.
