Recent carbon dating of many elements at a site called Swan Point indicates that mammoths and people existed at the same time in Alaska about 14,000 years ago.

Karen Spaleta, one of the new study's coauthors, takes a sample from a mammoth tusk found at Alaska's Swan Point archaeological site. She is deputy director of the Alaska Stable Isotope Facility.

Swan Point, Alaska’s earliest archeological site, has been a treasure trove for scientists, with mammoth remains having been unearthed at three other spots all within 10 km (6.2 miles) of where ...

Lanoë says the Swan Point and Hollembaek Hill specimens may be too old to be genetically related to other known, more recent dog populations. “Behaviorally, they seem to be like dogs, as they ...

But Swan Point, dating back 14,000 years, is the oldest unequivocal archaeological site in Alaska. By the time people camped there, woolly mammoths had been in North America for about 100,000 years.

Analysis of a 14,000-year-old tusk found in Alaska helped scientists trace the movements of a woolly mammoth, revealing humans likely settled where the animals roamed.

The jawbone and this leg bone found at Swan Point, Alaska (seen above in a composite scan) both showed chemical evidence of salmon proteins in lab tests - a discovery that led the team to conclude ...
