One of Dr. Christopher Moore's (University of South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology) major interests as an archaeologist has been to understand how the earliest Paleoamericans lived and interacted with megafauna species. Just how implicated should humans be in the extinction of these ice age animals? In a new study, Moore and his colleagues used a forensic technique more commonly used to identify blood on objects at crime scenes to investigate this question.
