[ link to apnews.com (secure)] In Mexico City, experts find bones of dozens of mammoths
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Archaeologists have found the bones of about 60 mammoths at an airport under construction just north of Mexico City, near human-built ’traps’ where more than a dozen mammoths were found last year.
Both discoveries reveal how appealing the area — once a shallow lake — was for the mammoths, and how erroneous was the classic vision of groups of fur-clad hunters with spears chasing mammoths across a plain. Humans may have been smarter — and mammoths clumsier — than people had previously thought.
For the momement, however, Mexican archaeologists are facing a surfeit of mammoths, almost too many to ever excavate.
