Guest N.AL.hunter Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Two museums I have visited, the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville and the Oakville Indian Mound Museum in Oakville, AL, both have caches on display along with many other artifacts that were found as individual finds. The Oakville museum has the largest collection of artifacts on display that I know of in Alabama and it is free. Among the 1000s of artifacts, several groupings were found all together as a cache. I must admit that i have had fantasies about finding such a cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkGelbart Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Landscapers were digging a hole for a fish pond in Patrick Mahaffy's front yard when they discovered a cache of 83 Clovis tools. A biochemical analysis of blood on some of the tools tested positive for camel, horses, sheep (probably bighorn), and bears. Opponents to the overkill hypothesis have long stated the lack of camel kill sites is evidence against the theory. This always seemed illogical to me. Clovis men killed mammoths, but couldn't figure out how to kill a camel? Of course, the naysayers can still say the camels were found dead and the Indians butchered the carcasses. I say, "c'mon, what do you need--a videotape?" Mr. Mahaffy's going to donate most of the tools to the museum but he's going to rebury (!?) some.

mommabetts Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 that was a really good article to read. This does prove that camals were in NA. I think with all of the camel fossils that have been found here, it just stands to reason they would hunt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD1991 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 There's evidence that the Clovis people killed the extinct camel Camelops in Alberta, Canada about 13,000 year ago. There is a link about this (from 2012): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/clovis-people-hunted-canadas-camels-123572738/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
