In the thirteen years since the first Paleoamerican Odyssey conference, new research has deepened our understanding of the peopling of the Americas. Revolutionary genetic methodologies, combined with developments in archaeology, geology, and paleoecology, have generated new insights into the timing and patterns of early dispersal events and the technologies, lifeways, and adaptive strategies of the first Americans during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. We now know that humans first migrated from northeastern Asia into the Western hemisphere via the now-submerged Bering Land Bridge. Upon arrival in North America, they moved south either along the deglaciated Pacific coast, through the Ice Free Corridor, or both to what is now continental North and South America. However, as archaeologists continue to shed light onto the movements of the first Americans, the story becomes ever more complicated.
