@clio.history.in.motion: A child's footprints appear beside an Ice Age trail — then stop, then appear again farther on. At White Sands, the mud preserved enough evidence to reconstruct a journey made thousands of years ago. #history #archaeology #prehistory #whitesands #iceage #cliohistoryinmotion

📚 Bennett et al., Quaternary Science Reviews (2020), DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2020.106610 + White Sands National Park. Important caveat: “mother and child” is not established. We know the smaller prints appear intermittently and the researchers think the child was being carried. Would you have noticed that pattern if nobody pointed it out? 👇
