Late Quaternary Extinctions: State of the Debate (2006, background): “Thousands of diagnostic fluted points are known from the late Pleistocene of North America, but our understanding of human-megafaunal interaction and human diets are based on a few dozen sites (Haynes 2002b).”
When bigger is not better: The economics of hunting megafauna and its implications for Plio-Pleistocene hunter-gatherers (2016, methodology): “These questions also have special relevance to arguments about what role, if any, prehistoric hunters played in the extirpation of Pleistocene megafauna,1 especially proboscideans (e.g., Grayson and Meltzer, 2015; Grayson et al., 2001; Haynes, 2002; Martin, 1973; Meltzer, 2015).”
Early Paleoindian foraging: examining the faunal evidence for large mammal specialization and regional variability in prey choice (2004, methodology): “…North America south of the late Pleistocene continental ice sheets and north of Mexico, which is the area within which North American Early Paleoindian materials are best known and most widely distributed (e.g., Ranere and Cooke, 1991; Lorenzo and Mirambell, 1999; Bever, 2001; Haynes, 2002a).”
Did Humans Cause the Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene Mammalian Extinctions in South America in a Context of Shrinking Open Areas? (2009, background): “In North America, there is agreement that the extinctions took place before the beginning of the Holocene, before 10,000 BP (Roy, 2001; Haynes, 2002).”
