Zusammenfassung:	The peopling of the Americas is a topic of ongoing scientific interest and rigorous debate1,2. Holen et al.3 add to these discussions with their recent report of a 130,000-year-old archaeological site in southern California, USA: the Cerutti Mastodon (CM) site, which includes the fragmentary remains of a single mastodon (Mammut americanum), spatially associated stone cobbles, and associated lithic debris that they claim indicates prehistoric hominin activity.
