Archaeologists have discovered a Stone Age kill site full of mammoth remains where ancient people used to herd the large mammals so they could be killed and butchered. The discovery was made during road works on a new bypass near Drasenhofen, a town in the Austrian state of Lower Austria.
Archaeologists found massive mammoth tusks and bones as well as the remains of other large animals. Stone Age tools were found at the 16-square-metre (1,894-square-foot) site as well.
Martin Krenn of the Austrian Federal Monuments Office said: "The Palaeolithic 'kill site' is the first to be excavated in Austria and was analysed using state-of-the-art methods. It gives us a sensational overview of the Palaeolithic people's way of life."
