In 1952, Ed Lehner discovered extinct mammoth bone fragments in the geological deposits at the locality now referred to as the Lehner Mammoth-Kill Site. He notified the Arizona State Museum and excavations took place in 1955-56, and again in 1974-75.
Artifacts found during these excavations included thirteen fluted Clovis projectile points, butchering tools, chipped stone debitage and fire hearth features.
Bones of a variety of game (twelve immature mammoths, one horse, one tapir, several bison, one camel, one bear, several rabbits, and a garter snake) were also excavated.
The Lehner Mammoth kill and camp site exhibited a number of firsts: It was the first site associated with the Clovis culture to have definable fire hearths. These hearths provided the first radiocarbon dates for the culture (9,000 B.C.).
This site was also the first to have butchering tools in direct association with animal remains, and the first Clovis association with small animals, camel, and tapir.

The Carr waterfall is dry, but Carr Creek has some signs of water flow.

I'm going to have to find out who and when.
Nice clean lines.
