A team of archaeologists have dated charcoal samples found near the specimen on Channel Islands National Park's Santa Rosa Island to approximately 13,000 years – a significant time period because it coincides with the age of Arlington Man, the oldest human skeletal remains in North America, which were also found on Santa Rosa Island… link |

Well, technically all mammoths coexisted with man. Still, cool story. |

Northern Russia/Siberia had mini-mammoths down to the 10,000's when they were eaten by early humans. Yummm. Of course the Paleontologists must be thrilled (or mystified) as Mammoths were Old World species and Mastodons were New World species. |

Sorry bsrlee, palaeontologists won't be mystified as both mastodons & mammoths had a world-wide spread. Mastodons arose in the early Miocene and spread from Africa into Eurasia & America. Mammoths appeared in the Pliocene, again in Africa, and spread into Europe, Asai and then into America |
