Scientists Discover Oldest Artwork Known in Americas
On this day in US history, scientists published what is believed to be the oldest known artwork in the Americas on June 12, 2011. An engraving was discovered on a fossil bone dated at least 13,000 years old, most likely from a mammoth, giant sloth, or even a mastodon. One thing: a fossil bone was engraved with an image of what appears to be an Ice Age-era mammoth. The discovery was made in Florida.
