Stone tools characteristic of the Clovis culture have been found in direct association with bones of the American mastodon at Kimmswick, Missouri. The vertebrate fauna from Clovis components suggests a deciduous woodland and meadow habitat. Such an environmental reconstruction provides a new perspective for Clovis adaptations and the ecological tolerances of Mammut americanum.
在密苏里州金姆斯威克,人们发现了与美洲乳齿象骨骼直接相关的克洛维斯文化特征的石器。克洛维斯组合中的脊椎动物区系表明,这里曾经有一个落叶林地和草地的栖息地。这种环境重建为克洛维斯人的适应和美洲乳齿象的生态容忍度提供了一个新的视角。
