The Buttermilk Creek complex is the remains of a paleolithic settlement along the shores of Buttermilk Creek in present-day Salado, Texas. The assemblage dates to ~13.2 to 15.5 thousand years old.[1] If confirmed, the site represents evidence of human settlement in the Americas that pre-dates the Clovis culture.[2]
