at the bottom of oil Negro which is a
large collapse chamber inside an
underwater cave light bones of a girl 16
year old girl in a goth a–there we have
determined that that girl is one of the
earliest human skeletons in the Americas
we’ve been able to determine using
radiocarbon dating of tooth enamel and
uranium thorium dating of calcium
carbonate crystals that formed on the
bone after the bone came to rest on the
bottom of the cave that niya died
between 12,000 and 13,000 years ago
I own a grow it’s gonna tell us about
the human life animal life and plant
life of Ice Age Central America it’s a
time capsule that is absolutely
unequaled as we were swimming around all
the sudden we start finding bones we go
a little bit up and we look and then
there’s this human skull he’s upside
down and you know beautiful teeth kind
of pointing up and you have the eye
socket I mean this is we’re always like
okay this is the discovery of of our
lives time it’s not gonna get any better
than this oil may grow and it’s bottom
is over 60 meters in diameter it’s the
size of an American football field along
with the girl in the Gotha theer in the
bottom of way olia Negro our bones of
nine other species of animals large
animals and included our saber-toothed
cats giant ground sloths two species
including one that’s new to science
there are Cougars cave bears coyotes
bobcats and other small animals
this is a unique opportunity for Mexico
with the experts on the group and the
team that is working together to get
this knowledge and to set the standards
of what you can do with the right people
with the right tools with the right
authorities of the country we now have
niya skull and niya has a complete skull
and from that complete skull we are
going to reconstruct her face and so
we’re going to be looking on the face of
the earliest American that we know of
and part of what’s surprising is our
earliest American is a teenage girl
