Listeros,
I recently posted the story "Clovis roamed south" about the discovery
of a Clovis site at El Fin del Mundo in Sonora. INAH has a follow up
on the discovery. There is a 25,000 year old stratigraphic sequence at
the site and the remains of a species that were part of the now
extinct Gomphotheriidae family have been found there. INAH has been
working at Sonora Paleo-indian sites for 10 years. Before this newest
find, it was unknown that Clovis people hunted gomphotheres. It was
thought they were extinct 30,000 years ago. 300 Clovis artifacts
dating to 11,000 BCE have been found at the site including 12 slabs
used to hunt and dismember animals and Clovis points of white quartz
and white flint. INAH is working the site with the University of
Arizona and will begin its next excavations in February 2010.
INAH has the story here;
