Abstract
This document focuses on the Broken Mammoth site in the Tanana River Valley, Alaska that dates from the Late Pleistocene to the early Holocene. The stratum labeled Cultural Zone 4 dates to the Early Paleo-Indian tradition. The author describes the site, the faunal assemblages and how they change over time, the paleoenvironment as indicated by the faunal data, and some of the tools found. Broken Mammoth is compared to other sites within Alaska and western Yukon from the same general time period.
