The Domebo site (also referred to as Domebo Canyon) is located in the west-central region of Oklahoma known as Caddo County. Caddo County has more than 451 archaeological sites. One hundred and fifteen of those sites date to the Plains Village era (A.D. 1000 to 1500). [3] In contrast, the Domebo site dates to approximately 11,000 years ago.
The earliest mammoths in Eurasia are assigned to the species Mammuthus rumanus. [22] The youngest remains of mammoths in Africa are from Aïn Boucherit, Algeria dating to the Early Pleistocene, around 2.3–2 million years ago (with a possible later record from Aïn Hanech, Algeria, dating to 1.95–1.78 million years ago).

Your passport to adventure just takes a smidgeon of imagination and down-home fun. You can tread the path of woolly mammoths along this Oklahoma road.
Columbian mammoths, cousins of today's elephants, stood up to about 13 feet (4 meters) tall at the shoulder and weighed as much as 11 tons. The mother and child were part of the Clovis culture ...
The American mastodon did not grow taller than living elephants but it was much more robust in body build than them, in part due to its very broad pelvis. The Warren mastodon produces a body mass of nearby 7.8 t (7.7 long tons; 8.6 short tons) and had a shoulder height measuring 289 cm (114 in).
One group of mammoths, however, survived for another 5,000 years on St. Paul Island, a remote island off the coast of Alaska. As the Earth warmed up after the Ice Age, sea levels rose.
The Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) is an extinct species of mammoth that inhabited North America from southern Canada to Costa Rica during the Pleistocene epoch. The Columbian mammoth descended from Eurasian steppe mammoths that colonised North America during the Early Pleistocene around 1.5–1.3 million years ago, and later experienced hybridisation with the woolly mammoth lineage.
