According to a report in Science Express published online on April 3, 2008, a field school from the University of Oregon found a preclovis site this past summer, containing the oldest human DNA yet discovered in the American continents. The site, Paisley 5 Mile Point Cave, is located in a perfect spot to support the Pre-Clovis Pacific coast migration theory of American colonization: in the hinterlands of what is Oregon today, upriver from the Pacific coast along the Klamath River.

Based on "dried-out samples in caves known as the Paisley Caves, about 220 miles southeast of Eugene, Oregon, on the eastern side of the Cascade mountain range."
