Excavation uncovered the remains of a group of Columbian mammoths - the largest known concentration of a single herd that died in one event anywhere in the Americas. The evidence suggests a flood. Among the finds was an adult positioned as if lifting a juvenile, a detail that has stayed with everyone who has heard it. The site became a National Monument in 2015 and the bones remain in the ground, under a roof, where visitors can see them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColumbian mammoths stood taller than woolly mammoths and roamed this country until roughly ten thousand years ago. Waco's are not a museum display assembled from elsewhere - they are exactly where they fell, which is a very different thing to stand over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the sculptural grays hold their depth and the small red cardinal draws the eye on a lit tree.
