Recent genetic studies have also suggested that some eastern Polynesian populations have admixture from coastal western South American peoples, with an estimated date of contact around 1200 CE. [6] Scientific and scholarly responses to other claims of post-prehistory, pre-Columbian transoceanic contact have varied.
In February 2021, a controversial study claimed that Venetian glass trade beads had been found at three prehistoric Eskimo sites in Alaska. The authors believe the beads were transported from Venice, Italy, across Eurasia and over the Bering Strait, making this discovery "the first documented instance of the presence of indubitable European materials in prehistoric sites in the western ...
