A spot along the San Pedro River where the earliest known humans in the New World butchered bison and mammoths has been named one of the "five great places to see evidence of first Americans" by Smithsonian Magazine. The Murray Springs Clovis site, now part of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, was first excavated in 1966 by C. Vance Haynes Jr. and Peter Mehringer of the Arizona State Museum. Murray Springs is located in southern Arizona near the San Pedro River and once served as a Clovis hunting camp approximately 9000 years BCE. The site is unique for the massive quantity of large megafauna processing and extensive tool making.
