Paleoindians, Proboscideans, and Phytotoxins: Exploring the Feasibility of Poison Hunting during the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition [PDF]
, 2016 Archaeologists have long envisioned direct encounters between Paleoindians and megafauna of the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition (LGIT, 15–11.5 cal BP). Debate continues regarding the role that these Paleoindian hunters played in the extinction event(

Diversity of the Pleistocene Gomphotheres (Gomphotheriidae, Proboscidea) from South America
, 2003 The gomphotheres were recorded in South America from the early Middle Pleistocene (Ensenadan Land-mammal Age) to the latest Pleistocene (Lujanian Land-mammal Age). They were descendants of the gomphothere stock that originated in North America and arrived to South America during the ‘Great American Biotic Interchange’.
