Several important archaeological research projects concerning animal and human remains from the late Pleistocene, Paleo Indian Period were conducted during the late 20th Century under the direction of Caleb Curren and funded through the Archaeological Research Association of Alabama Inc, the University of Alabama, and the Alabama Geological Survey.
Hundreds of animal remains and artifacts were discovered and/or examined. Private collections as well as museum collections were studied. New sites were discovered. Radiocarbon dates were also obtained from wood remains in prehistoric strata. The average dates ranged from 10-20,000 years ago.
