Big Game Hunters Roughly 12,000 years ago, prehistoric mammals roamed the North American horizon. These mammals ranged from prehistoric camels, to lions, woolly mammoths, bison, armadillos, mastodons and many other large animals known as mega-fauna. The origin of the North American mega-fauna is still in debate, but it is surmised that most arrived via the Bering land bridge or Beringia in Alaska. The arrival of the mega-fauna had a deep impact on the ecological scheme of North America, which impacted its later human occupants. Roughly around the same time the mega-fauna were appearing in America, modern Homo-Sapiens (human beings) also arrived through the Bering land bridge. The arrival of human beings did not gravely impact the growing landscape of North America at first, nor were the first Americans great hunters, gatherers, or agriculturists. The first hunting tools and methods were crude, consisting of simple projectile point weapons and very little specialization. Indeed, tools such as throwing spears were usually made of heavy wood and could not be thrown more than ten to twenty feet. To add to the problems of survival for the first Americans, the harsh North American climate was not easily settled. The harsh conditions however, brought about some major tool innovations, which have influenced archeological sites, as far south as the Guanaco region of South America, and as far north as Greenland.

The adjacent Page Museum is showcasing the finds in scientific displays and works of art. Page Museum administrator Jim Gilson says the most important Ice Age fossil site in the world lies in the middle of a busy business district. "And it's right here off of Wilshire Boulevard near downtown Los Angeles, so people can come right here and see what life was like 10 or 14-thousand years ago, when saber-tooth cats were standing where we're standing, when they we feeding on trapped mastodons and sloths, and bears were feeding on them. And vultures were feeding on them. And an entire ecosystem was trapped in the tar right here in the middle of Los Angeles," he says.

SIGHTINGS Scientist Finds Frozen Prehistoric 'Zoo' In Siberian Ice http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/00/03/05/stinwenws03011.html?999 By Nicholas Hellen Scientists have located a frozen "zoo" of prehistoric creatures under the Siberian permafrost which they intend to retrieve for a cloning experiment. Members of an expedition which last autumn airlifted a mammoth from its icy tomb now claim to have evidence of an extraordinary menagerie of extinct creatures. Bernard Buigues, the French leader of the expedition, said he knew of another 18 locations which would yield the animals' bodies in a well-preserved state. He is to begin the search for woolly rhino, steppe lions, giant deer, foxes and hardy breeds of horses from 20,000 BC within the next month. He will cover an area extending 300 miles to the northwest and northeast of the Siberian town of Khatanga, 500 miles north of the Arctic Circle. "Evidence from bones and tusks collected by nomads has alerted us to the location of the sites," said Buigues. He has travelled extensively in the Taymyr Peninsula in Siberia in the past 10 years, and believes he may also have found signs of human settlement from 2,000BC on the shores of Lake Taymyr. Associates of Buigues, whose film of the recovery of the first mammoth will be shown on the Discovery Channel on March 12, say his tactics for winning their co-operation are simple. "He carries a Polaroid camera everywhere to remind them who he is. Almost two-thirds of the 8,000 nomads in the region now have a picture of him together with them."

29. The Dawn Of Prehistoric Rock Art By James Q. Jacobs Initially three charcoal paintings of animals were directly dated by acceleratormass The engravings include 5 mammoths, 3 ibex, 2 rhinoceros, 2 horses, http://www.jqjacobs.net/rock_art/dawn.html

The Dawn of Prehistoric Rock Art ©1998 by James Q. Jacobs The most ancient evidence of the production of art predates the generally accepted earliest dates for the appearance of modern humans. Cup marks and a meandering line were etched into a sandstone cave in India two or three hundred thousand years ago. Line markings on bone, teeth, ivory and bone of equal antiquity are known from the campsites of archaic humans. Sculpture, in the form of modified natural forms, has been dated to 250-300,000 years ago in the Near East. (Bednarik, 1998.) An early archaeologically discernible behavior that seems to lack practical purpose is the use of hematite or ochre, the red mineral pigment. This activity dates to several hundred thousand years ago in southern Africa. Although no rock paintings of such great antiquity are known, ochre is later evidenced as a rock art pigment. Australian rock art may be as old as human occupation of that continent, up to 60,000 years old and perhaps far older. Hundreds of Australian sites may predate the cave art of Europe (Bednarik). In Tanzania rock art sites date back about 50,000 years (Karoma). Painted and engraved images of animals on stone slabs have been excavated and dated to 28,000 years ago in Namibia (Feder and Park). The oldest known example of rock art in Europe is an arrangement of eighteen cup marks on a rock slab over a child's burial in a French cave. Radiocarbon dates for European paintings range back to more than 32,000 years (Gould). By this time art traditions are known to have existed in southern Africa, the Levant, eastern Europe, India and Australia (Bednarik). A California rock art site has been dated to about 20,000 years ago, based on analysis of mineral varnish covering a pictograph (Bower 96a).

DINO LAND PALEONTOLOGY INTERVIEWS LARRY AGENBROAD The Jarkov Mammoth, the famed specimen Larry Agenbroad studied. Last October news agencies around the world were abuzz with the discovery of a nearly complete frozen mammoth carcass, found in the Siberian permafrost by a team of French, Dutch, and American scientists. The actual mammoth carcass was first discovered in 1997, when French explorer Bernard Buigues learned of the discovery of mammoth tusks by a group of local natives. Buigues explored the site they mentioned, and was astonished to find signs of a near complete mammoth carcass. Unfortunately, due to strange, odd, and drastic weather conditions, the excavation of this carcass had to be delayed for two years, until 1999, when Buigues and his team finally announced their discovery to the world. The discovery, nicknamed the Jarkov Mammoth, became an overnight hit, making the front page of several newspapers around the world and garnering spots in Time Magazine and on several American television programs. Much of the excitement was due to the thrilling possibility that the mammoth could be cloned, a somewhat outlandish, but media popular idea. The entire idea of cloning ancient animals extended back well before the first successful cloning of a living animal was performed. But, the notion gained much publicity after the 1993 release of Jurassic Park, the box office hit which starred cloned dinosaurs. Suddenly, this idea seemed more plausible to the public-but could science do it?

Extinct Stone Age animals This is what we have come to: ash and shivered glass. Memorialized dead-centres without corrosive, corroded; road salts, metals. Speech! Speech! Stone Age people did not write but some did leave cave paintings and rock etchings of animals. The antiquity of these is evident from the animals shown, some of which are extinct and are not known to have existed in historical times. In Europe, cave paintings of woolly elephants and rhinos are found at Lascaux, France, and at Altamira, Spain. Also, in Europe, Stone Age people left in cave niches ceremoniously arranged bones of giant cave bears. In 1995, an enormous underground (and, we can be sure, undisturbed by amateur archeologists) art gallery of 20,000 year old cave paintings was discovered in the canyon of the Ardèche River near the town of Vallon-Pont-d'Arc , 260 miles south of Paris. On the cave walls are depictions of more than 300 colorful paintings of woolly haired rhinos, bears, oxen, goats, panthers, owls and hyenas. Some of the animals are shown in groups, standing or galloping; some rhinos are fighting. The skull of a bear sits in the middle of one gallery, as if part of some ceremony. Mysteriously, no fish or day flying birds are depicted; nor are humans but for hand outlines in some caves. Common folk have long been intrigued by the remains of animals, frozen in the tundra, that are no more. For millennia before the invention of elephant gun, mammoth tusks were a source of entrepreneurial ivory. Naturalists have attempted to explain the Nordic mythology of frost giants in terms of the bones of extinct mammoths and beached whales that the cold of northern lands has preserved. Unicorn horns (purported to detect and eliminate poison in food and so valued by kings and tyrants) were brought to Medieval Europe by Vikings (who kept secret for 300 years the source). The mythical beast is the Narwhal (

His fascinating and instructive new book, Survival by Hunting , is part personal memoir, part overview of Paleoindian adaptations, and part guide to the hunting of Pleistocene and Holocene mammals on the High Plains and in the Rocky Mountains. How did people who were armed only with weapons of stone, antler, ivory, wood and sinew successfully hunt such beasts as mammoths in the Clovis phase or bison in the subsequent Folsom and Plano periods? How did hardscrabble homesteaders hunt some of the same game, albeit with rifles, in the early 20th century? George Frison

But what people don't often think of are the thousands of interesting creatures that lived and died on this planet of ours in the "in-between" years. The last dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago, the last Dodo died over 300 years ago. The millions of years between the two (The Cenozoic Era) have been populated (off and on) by some of the largest mammals the world has ever seen.
