'Mammoth and human combination sculpture'
Adam Arkfeld find, Clear Brook, Virginia
Mammoth body profile facing left. Illustration of the 'mammoth eye' and the human facial elements which have been carved into the back of the mammoth. The sculpture stands upright in correct orientation on a flat base.
This motif of "mammoth with human face at posterior" has been identified in several sculptures from this site and described from other sites in postings on this blog. The Arkfeld Site has produced more mammoth stone sculpture material than any other site in the world but continues to be ignored by North American archaeologists who must not appreciate the significance of the art and tool finds.
