PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) – An archaeologist says a woven
item discovered in an Oregon cave and dated to about
12,000 years ago may be one of the oldest known footwear 
or clothing in the world.
      

Richard Rosencrance, an archaeologist who has studied the
artifact, said the item was found at Cougar Mountain Cave in
south-central Oregon, part of a cluster of archaeological sites
that also includes the well-known Paisley and Connley Caves.

According to Rosencrance,the cave was excavated by a non-
professional in the 1950s, but much of the material was not
available for modern research until recently.
