Peñon woman or Peñon Woman III is the name for the human remains, specifically a skull, of a Paleo-Indian woman found by an ancient lake bed near Mexico City in 1959. Peñon Woman III was found on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco.〔Grattan and Torrence 91〕 The skeleton's age has been estimated by radiocarbon dating by Silvia Gonzalez of Liverpool John Moores University.〔("The New World may be far older than it originally seemed." ) ''The Economist.'' 14 July 2005. Retrieved 15 April 2012.〕 Her 14C date is 10,755±55 years〔 (12,705 cal years) BP. She is one of the oldest human remains found in the Americas.〔Legon, Jeordan. ("Scientist: Oldest American skull found." ) ''CNN'' 3 Dec 2002. Retrieved 15 April 2012.〕 Gonzalez theorizes that Peñon woman is related to the historic Pericú people of Baja California, who also shared similar physical traits.〔Rincon, Paul.
