Very interesting - no one knows who these people were - choices for that period are Neanderthal, Denisovan, Home Sapiens.

The indigenous peoples lived peacefully with the mastodons, until the Europeans arrived and hunted the mastodons out of existence.

Add Homo erectus. They survived in Asia maybe as recently as 25Kya. I think a case can be made for them in the America’s.

Hippies.

Dirty, filthy, stinking hippies eating roadkill and making jewelry out of dead possums.

I do not find the evidence convincing.

It is clearly a fragmentary bit of mastodon. No skull to go with the tusks, much of the skeleton smashed.

So something smashed and separated the skeleton. There are many possibilities.

I recall a very similar analysis by Robert Audrey, in African Genesis. Eventually it came out that all could be explained by leopards preying on early hominids and stashing the carcasses in a tree that overhung a cave mouth (which would be a very popular site for ancient leopards).

Imagine a big tree with broken limbs, caught in a flood and smashing up and down on a bit of mastodon carcass, for example.

If I remember correctly, mastodon bones used to be found laying on the surface in some states.

Then there was the sailor from John Hawkins’ destroyed fleet who walked from Mexico to Newfoundland and claimed he saw live elephants in the interior of what is today the USA.

“Very interesting - no one knows who these people were - choices for that period are Neanderthal, Denisovan, Home Sapiens.”

The homos came later, at least in large numbers. Probably one of the others.

It’s pretty obvious that the Flintstones took place in California, and they had mastodons all over the place. So I don’t see the significance of this find.

Heck, you may even have some pictures from back then...

from the article: "...‘Anomaly’ is the key word for this site as far as I’m concerned,' he said, speaking on camera.
'There are anomalous fragments of rocks, anomalous fragments of tooth enamel scattered throughout the site that' — and here he paused between words for effect — 'just … don’t … make … sense in a natural depositional environment.
'If I didn’t call this Highway 54 Mastodon, I would call it the Anomalous Mastodon Site.'

...said Kathleen Holen, 'we intend to continue to search for similar sites and hope our findings will inspire future archaeologists to do the same.' "

Today it's still an anomaly.
Find two or three more just like it and we start to see a pattern.
Find bones of actual pre-humans from that time and the whole picture changes.
