Were mammoths brought by mudflows?

Бесплатный доступ

Some Upper Palaeolithic sites in Eastern Europe have revealed a large number of mammoth bones. The paper explores the hypothesis which states that accumulations of these animals occurred because of their death caused by mudflows whereas people found and used them. Dangerous mudflows do not occur in the conditions typical for these sites today. Nothing suggests that there were mudflows in the past. Stratigraphy of the sites and conditions of the mammoth bones at the sites (some parts of the skeleton missing, similar state of preservation) demonstrate that the bones were accumulated in the course of human activity.
