mammoth hunters

Ice age pursuers

Mammoth hunters were prehistoric humans who hunted woolly mammoths and other large Ice Age mammals.

The term appears in archaeology and popular accounts of early human survival, evoking images of coordinated hunts with spears against enormous prey: The mammoth hunters of the Siberian steppe.

It sometimes names exhibits, novels, or games set in prehistory.
