The Broken Mammoth Archaeological
Project began in 1990 following the discovery of the Broken Mammoth site
in 1989. The project was directed by Dr. Charles E. Holmes, Office of History
& Archaeology. Investigations at the Broken Mammoth, Mead, and Swan
Point sites have been sponsored by the Office of History & Archaeology
and the University of Alaska Anchorage with support from the National Geographic
Society and a 1991 National Science Foundation Research Grant (DPP-9112174).
Special thanks to the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities
(Fairbanks) and the Alaska Division of Forestry (Delta Station) for logistical
support, and to the many students and volunteers who have helped over the
years. Further reading: Dixon, E. James 1993 Quest for the Origins of the First Americans. Academic Press, New York. Hoffecker, John F., W.
