On the Hunt


Written by John Angier
Art by Emil Huston

Programmed by Polly Hanson

This painting was commissioned by Scientific American Frontiers to show what Clovis mammoth hunters might have looked like on the Great Plains about 13,500 years ago. Key parts of the painting are based on the latest archeological thinking.

Use your mouse to roll over different areas of the picture to find out more about the Clovis hunting technology.
