2019 Archaeology Field School: Olsen Mammoth Excavation
The 2019 Field School continues excavation on a multi-year project recovering a Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) from private property just outside of Kimberly, Idaho. The mammoth has been radiocarbon dated to between 15,500 and 14,500 years old. We are hoping to find evidence of human interaction with this species whether it was hunted, scavenged, or injured.
