Ice Age Mammoth Hunters
Dr. Madeline Mackie
More than 12,500 years ago, hunters butchered a Columbian Mammoth at the La Prele site in Wyoming. Archaeologists have found animal remains, ivory, bone needles, and a large ocher stain, helping us understand diet, mobility, cooperation, and social organization in the far past.
