History of Iowa __ "The first people to travel through Iowa were most likely
the Paleo-Indians. These ancient people travelled through Iowa near the end of
the Ice Age, from 9500 BCE to 7500 BCE, hunting animals such as the bison,
mammoth, and mastodon. By 7500 to 5500 BCE—the Early Archaic period—there is
evidence of a small number of people living in Iowa on a seasonal basis. These
people were the first to have a sustained presence in Iowa and leave behind
artifacts that prove their existence." An encyclopedic article about the history
