Archaeologists found 12,400-year-old sewn clothing and other organic artifacts in Oregon’s Cougar Mountain Cave, revealing early human adaptation to Ice Age climates.
Archaeologists from the University of Oregon and University of Nevada, Reno have discovered well-preserved Ice Age artifacts in Cougar Mountain Cave, Oregon, dating to about 12,400 years ago.
The site yielded rare organic materials including rabbit pelts, twined matting, knotted cords, and two pieces of sewn hide—possibly the oldest known sewn clothing.
The dry cave environment preserved these fragile items, offering new evidence of early human adaptation to cold glacial climates through clothing innovation.
