Deep Time in the Americas

Deep Time in the Americas interface

Deep Time in the Americas is an interactive timeline visualization designed to map the extensive history of human civilizations in the Americas. It covers a vast range of over 17,000 years, stretching from 15,000 BCE to the present day.

The project visually demonstrates that the Pre-Columbian era accounts for approximately 96.9% of the region's human history, while post-1492 history represents just 3.1%. The interface features a custom horizontal timeline slider, quick milestone navigation jumps, and an interactive map highlighting geographic regions and contributions of ancient societies.
