Early Americans ate tons of mammoth, 13,000-year-old bones from Clovis culture baby reveal

Early Indigenous Americans relied heavily on meat from mammoths to survive, according to a new study, which suggests they were top-notch experts at hunting the massive beasts.

The findings, reported in a study published Wednesday (Dec. 4) in the journal Science Advances, are based on chemical analyses of the bones of an 18-month-old boy — dubbed Anzick-1 — who lived almost 13,000 years ago in what is now Montana.

The boy was probably still breast-feeding, and the results reveal that the diet of his mother was "closest to that of [the now-extinct] scimitar cat, a mammoth specialist," the researchers wrote in the study.
