New look at the big game hunters of old
Archaeologists point to bone foreshafts found with Clovis points as a possible answer to how ancient people hunted mammoths. Canadian scientists Larry Lahren and Robson Bonnichsen propose that slender bone shafts tipped with stone points were lashed to lances and used as daggers in final kills, with refills carried for successive hunts. The idea, tied to 10 000 plus year old Clovis culture, emerges from sites in Alaska and Montana and follows discoveries like the Anzick burial in Montana.
