‘Tools and spear tips found with fossil bones at a remote Sonoran site suggest that Clovis-era hunters butchered two juvenile specimens of the elephantlike megafauna about 13,000 years ago.’

If they found speartips with the bones, that would mean one of them dropped and died by a bunch of spears, together with the bones of a large animal. That would suggest the person they found was preparing the animal to be roasted, and he somehow met his demise.

The setup of it smells fishy to me.
