Cactus Hill site has human remains that have been dated to around 20,000 years ago. Given its location in Virginia shows that human beings had reached America earlier than this. This contradicts the theory that postulates humans came to America from Siberia through the modern day Bring Strait. The theory asserts that at the end of the Ice age humans were able to cross to America through the Beringia land bridge and other means such as canoes and rafts around 10,000 years ago.

Archaeologists base their conclusions on artifacts found over a large area. Exact dates cannot always be determined, and scientists don't always agree on the data provided by the evidence. New findings may contradict theories that have already been accepted.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Article v

Explanation:

(copied and pasted from a doc i read once)

The <u><em>initiative</em></u> allows voters to write proposals for laws and constitutional amendments. Twenty-four states in the U.S. allow the use of the initiative process, but some restrict the content of the proposals. The processes are outlined in Article V of the state constitution. The very first initiative involved the building and location of the state capitol. Oklahoma City was chosen as the site for the new capital. Another important initiative was passed in 1912 to allow direct election of U.S. senators, rather than having the state legislature choose them. The U.S. Constitution was amended (Amendment 17) to allow direct election of U.S. senators in every state the following year.
