Were they found in situ with nearby artifacts? Thank you for the consideration of a reply.

Being mainly interested in artifacts, I saved the bones and teeth not knowing what they really were. Only this week (30 years later) I realized that they were from a baby mastodon that became an ancient meal on the Scioto river in Columbus.

Too, a good bit was loaned to the Court of Czar Alexander. Some of that material is still exhibited St. Petersburg museums.
