flag A 12,000-year-old Oregon cave reveals sewn hide and plant fiber fragments, showing advanced clothing tech in early North America.

flag A cave in Oregon has uncovered some of the oldest known sewn materials in North America, dating back about 12,000 years to the end of the last Ice Age. flag The findings include fragments of stitched hide and plant fibers, suggesting early humans in the region used advanced techniques to make tailored garments or functional items. flag Preserved by the cave’s stable, dry environment, the artifacts offer rare evidence of prehistoric clothing technology and challenge earlier assumptions about the complexity of early human societies in the Americas. flag The discovery adds to growing evidence of sophisticated cultural and technological development during a time of major environmental change.
