Clovis and the Chronology of Megafaunal Extinctions in the Southern Great Lakes
Author(s): Matthew G. Hill
Year: 2019
Summary
This is an abstract from the "Human Interactions with Extinct Fauna" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Over 40 unpublished AMS results on Rangifer, Cervalces, Bootherium, and Ovibos combined with ~80 published assays for Mammuthus and Mammut are used to profile extinction of these taxa in the Southern Great Lakes. At least one result for each of these taxa falls in the Clovis time period, except for Ovibos. Numerous dates for Mammut and Cervalces overlap with Clovis. Dates for Rangifer either pre-date Clovis by 2-3000 years or fall near the end of the period (and into the Younger Dryas/Holocene).
