Re: North American discoveries of Mammouth remainsGeorge M Jacobs (jacobsg@helium.gas.uug.arizona.edu)2 Mar 1995 00:57:23 GMT
notably in the San Pedro River in Cochise Co. Among these sites are at least three with Clovis tradition associations, Naco, Lehner, and Murray Springs, well dated at ca. 11,600 B.P. (radiocarbon dates). There are horse remains from the earliest levels at Ventana Cave in southwestern Arizona, radiocarbon dated slightly later, if I recall. Aside from these sites with human-extinct fauna associations, there are other, Pleistocene localities with mammoth remains in several places in Arizona. These are certainly not the southernmost occurrences of mammoth in North America, however. There are mammoth-human localities in Mexico, and surely mammoth without human associations, as well. --
