Published opinion pieces about Clovis prey choices are unintentionally misleading. Over 120 individual animals from 8 extinct megafaunal species (or 12, depending upon taxonomy) were killed by Clovis people in a relatively short time span, according to conservative estimates -- and the number is even higher in some lists. The 11 Clovis sites said to have acceptable evidence for human predation on mammoths actually contain 50-53 separate individuals, some being discrete kills that should be...
Comparison of Proboscidean Bone Notches to Experimental Dynamic and Static Notches on Cow Bone (2017)
Notches produced during bone breakage by impact (dynamic loading) and pressure (static loading) present quantitatively different shapes when measured from the cortical view. The ratio of the measurement of notch breadth to notch depth differentiates dynamically (arcuate) from statically (semi-circular) produced notches. This poster compares a reference sample of Proboscidean limb bone notches with experimental samples of dynamically and statically loaded notches on cow femora and shows that...
