      Everyone you’d met was probably with you at the time. So their response would be, “yeah we know. Shut up about that mammoth already. It’s been two weeks and we have to go kill another mammoth.”

      So if the theory is that spears were planted in the ground rather than thrown, that means there was probably a ton of them in the ground and mammoths were chased into the trap.

        Planted in the ground could mean that they were left free standing or that they held the backend against the ground whilst holding onto it still.
