Abstract

ABSTRACT Archival research demonstrates that a previously unpublished second season of excavations took place at the Naco Clovis site in 1953, more than doubling the extent of the excavated area and revealing additional bones pertaining to a second mammoth. In 2020 small pieces of charcoal were found in sediment adhering to the distal fragment of a mammoth ulna from the Naco site. The bone was part of a 2011 donation to the Arizona State Museum by David Navarrete, grandson and nephew of the original discoverers of the site. Three AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained from individual wood charcoal fragments, and two more on a sample of multiple charcoal flecks. The first three have a weighted mean of 10,985 ± 56 14C yr BP (13,067–12,767 cal yr BP), fitting within the range of Clovis ages obtained from other Clovis sites; the other two ages are younger.

纳科克洛维斯遗址：旧发掘和新日期

摘要档案研究表明，1953年在纳科克洛维斯遗址进行了之前未公开的第二季挖掘，挖掘面积扩大了一倍多，并发现了与第二头猛犸象有关的额外骨骼。2020年，在纳科遗址猛犸尺骨远端碎片的沉积物中发现了小块木炭。这块骨头是该遗址最初发现者的孙子和侄子大卫·纳瓦雷特2011年向亚利桑那州立博物馆捐赠的一部分。从单个木炭碎片中获得了三个AMS放射性碳年代，在多个木炭斑点的样本中又获得了两个。前三个的加权平均值为10985 ± 56 14C yr BP（13067–12767 cal yr BP），符合从其他Clovis站点获得的Clovis年龄范围；另外两个年龄比较小。

期刊介绍： PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
