In 2023, Michael R. Waters et al. suggested that the Manis Mastodon site in Washington state supported evidence of a mastodon hunt ~13,900 cal. years BP, some 900 years before Clovis culture. Their study was a continuation of a 2011 anatomical study that proposed that osseous (bone) pieces found in a right rib of a mastodon represented ...
Mammutidae is an extinct family of proboscideans belonging to Elephantimorpha.It is best known for the mastodons (genus Mammut), which inhabited North America from the Late Miocene (around 8 million years ago) until their extinction at the beginning of the Holocene, around 11,000 years ago.
The Clovis culture, appearing around 11,500 BCE (c. 13,500 BP) in North America, is one of the most notable Paleo-Indian archaeological cultures. [35] It has been disputed whether the Clovis culture were specialist big-game hunters or employed a mixed foraging strategy that included smaller terrestrial game, aquatic animals, and a variety of flora.

A 13,600-year-old mastodon skull was uncovered in an Iowa creek, state officials announced this week. Iowa's Office of the State Archaeologist said in a social media post that archaeologists found ...
Mastodons roamed North America from the Tertiary period until about 10,000 years ago (Painting by Heinrich Harder ca. 1920). The Hiscock Site is an archaeological and paleobiological site in Byron, New York, United States that has yielded many mastodon and paleo-Indian artifacts, as well as the remains of flora and fauna not previously known to have inhabited Western New York during the late ...
Mastodon State Historic Site is a publicly owned, 431-acre (174 ha) archaeological and paleontological site with recreational features in Imperial, Missouri, maintained by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, preserving the Kimmswick Bone Bed. [5] Bones of mastodons and other now-extinct animals were first found here in the early 19th ...
"Mammut" borsoni is one of the largest proboscideans known. A 2015 study estimated that some not fully grown probably male specimens from Milia in Greece weighed about 14 tonnes (15.4 short tons) with a shoulder height of 3.9 metres (12.8 ft), with one specimen from the same locality known from an isolated femur estimated to weigh 16 tonnes (17.6 short tons) with a shoulder height of 4.1 ...
