I wonder what archaeologists will find in the same spot 1 million years from now.

Well archaeologists might undertake excavations at the tar pits in the future but paleontologists are the folks working there now.
Archaeologists study humans and human related activity.
Paleontologists study plant and animal fossils.

...the tooth of a 5-foot (1.5-meter) dire wolf and the toe of a sabertooth tiger ... Sounds like some brew a certain liberal witch could concoct.

When I was a kid, up until I was 8 years old, we lived in Bell Gardens and one of the neatest things to do was to visit the La Brea tar pits. Schools used to do it as a field trip, that and the harbor. I used to love looking at the big gooey mess, don't know why but it always seemed really great!

Well then I unwittingly used the correct term, since I was referring to what sort of human stuff they might find.

Absolutely correct. Archaeologists might be very interested in that area hundreds of years from now. But with a single exception, currently the site is of interest primarily to paleontologists.
I didn't mean to bust your chops. As a former professional archaeologist, I'm a little sensitive to the whole "hey, you looking for dinosaurs ?' thing hahaha.

Play the "Ice Age" movie. Loved it!

"As a former professional archaeologist, I'm a little sensitive to the whole "hey, you looking for dinosaurs ?"
On my last visit to the La Brea Tar Pits, they had a prominant sign at the front desk that said something like, "NO DINOSAURS WERE FOUND IN THE TAR PITS"
The guy at the counter said he still gets the dinosaur question over and over every day.
