Proboscidean and Paleoindian Interactions

With intriguing glimpses of Paleoindian and Proboscidean interactions throughout the New World, this work turns to the studies that provide the methods and findings for a more expanded view of generalized and species-specific proboscidean behaviors, and of attendant human lifeways.
