Thirteen millennia ago, in a small creek valley in western South
Dakota, two mammoths perished. The mammoths, an adult and a
juvenile, likely a cow and calf pair, died at the edge of an
ancient pond. The Lange/Ferguson site is the earliest dated
archaeological site in South Dakota and one of the few North
American sites that provides evidence of a Clovis-period mammoth
butchering event. In addition to the preserved remains of the two
mammoths, the site yielded diagnostic Clovis weaponry-three Clovis
projectile points recovered in context and stratigraphically
associated with the mammoth bonebed-and flaked bone tools. The site
offers a rare snapshot in time detailing early Paleoindian
interactions with now-extinct megafauna nearly 13,000 years ago. In
Clovis Mammoth Butchery: The Lange/Ferguson Site and Associated
Bone Tool Technology, L. Adrien Hannus provides a comprehensive
look at one of the few New World Clovis-era sites with in-place
buried deposits exhibiting evidence for an expedient bone tool
technology. Multidisciplinary investigations include
paleoenvironmental and geochronological reconstructions-pollen and
phytoliths, geology and geomorphology, diatoms and ostracodes,
mollusks, and vertebrate paleontology-as well as taphonomic
evaluations and a microwear analysis of the chipped stone tools.
Clovis Mammoth Butchery offers readers a rare glimpse into a
singular moment in prehistory that captures human interaction with
extinct animals during a rapidly changing world for which there is
no modern comparison. This book shares great insight into hunting
and procurement strategies used by big game hunters during the Late
Pleistocene and Early Holocene.
