How old is oldest human skeleton found in the US ?

The Arlington Springs woman is 13,000 years old.

The remains of the so-called Arlington Springs woman were recently reanalyzed by the latest radiocarbon dating techniques and were found to be approximately 13,000 years old. The new date makes her remains older than any other known human skeleton found so far in North America.

The oldest human remains are, oddly enough, in South America - and date to 15,000 years ago. Skeletal remains suggest these people were of South Pacific origin.

Campfire remain show a date of 50,000 years, but of course this evidence is less compelling than human bones.

But the finds that humans reached Australia almost 50,000 years ago suggest that the Pacific may have been peopled by some amazing navigators and sailors.

American anthropologists refuse to accept the firepit data (related to the 50,000 year date).

South American and European anthropologists do accept it. Time will tell.
