Flint found in 45,000 yr old Arctic mammoth
I have months of unread Science magazines since I
returned home from my winter travels.
I am thinking that there is no doubt that these were
Pre Clovis hunters.
I am also thinking that this mammoth got away from
the hunters. Flint tips found in two ribs and several
other similar wounds.

I wanna find a point stuck in a bone... Crazy how little we actually know about our past but on the same token it's insane that we know so much from so little!

Or is it crazy that we assume we know so much from so little?

Zuma:
Good points gents. I think it is a little of both.
 Science is not as rock hard as our flints  :laugh:
Although finds like this damn old elephant kill
is a very cool thing to be able to know about.
Most times these finds just get bull dozed
under the city streets. :o

Perfect example, in fort hood our live fire area has all sorts of mammoth bones and such. But the army drops so much ordinance into there that no one is aloud in due to the stuff that's dropped and doesn't blow up. So technically the army is using fossils for target practice. Waco has a mammoth dog that's just half excavated because they lost funding. All around it is houses. Crazy sauce.
