D They suggest that mastodons were hunted to extinction.

Answer 1

The correct option is option B:

Step-by-step explanation:

Marmes Digs:

In 1965, a number of human bones were found on and around the Marmes farm in southeastern Washington. Archaeologists determined that the bones were about 10,000 years old. They also found numerous artifacts: baskets, cords, mats, and a bone needle. The remains of a large elk were also discovered nearby along with cooking hearths, heated rocks, and other animal bones. This provided evidence that these ancient people were good hunters.

Manis Farm:

Mastodon bones were found on the Manis farm in 1977 and a spear was found embedded in the mastodon's rib. By examining the teeth, archaeologists determined that this mastodon had eaten seeds and pollen grains that were 12,000-14,000 years old. This provides proof that there were mastodon hunters in western Washington 12,000 years ago.

East Wenatchee

In 1987, several large Clovis spear points were found in East Wenatchee. It was determined that these spear points were about 11,000-12,000 years old. This provided evidence that the Clovis tribe had been living in this area over 10,000 years ago and were good hunters.

Answer 2

B. They provide evidence that there were ancient hunters in Washington.

Step-by-step explanation:

These sites are all related to what is known as the Clovis culture. The Clovis culture is a prehistoric Paleoamerican culture that is considered to be the first culture in the Americas. Clovis people, therefore, are considered to be the ancestors of most of the indigenous cultures of the Americas. Because of the weapons that have been found in this site, we can conclude that there were ancient hunters in Washington.
