Tom Dillehay

Tom Dillehay is an American anthropologist who is the Rebecca Webb Wilson University Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Religion, and Culture^[1] and Professor of Anthropology at Vanderbilt University. While working at Universidad Austral de Chile he was involved in the excavations at Monte Verde in Chile where a human settlement was found. Dillehay claims that the remains are about 14,500 years old, challenging the Clovis theory of the first human arrival in the Americas. In addition to his archaeological work, Dillehay has conducted ethnographic work among the Mapuche of southern Chile and the Jivaro of northern Peru.
