The 13,900-Year-Old Mastodon Rib Found With A Bone Point Still Inside — And The CT Scan That Put Hunters Before Clovis
The fragments inside it have been studied more thoroughly than almost any other piece of ancient evidence in North American archaeology.
And still, the rib does not tell us everything.
It does not tell us the name of the person who made the bone point.
It does not tell us the name of the person who used it.
It does not tell us the language of the community they belonged to.
It does not tell us whether this was a young person on their first hunt or an experienced elder who had done this many times.
It does not tell us whether the mastodon was finally killed by this attack or by others delivered in the same encounter, or whether it escaped wounded and died later from other causes.
