Listeros,
The bones of a stegomastodon, a prehistoric elephant that lived 13,000
years ago, were found in 2007 in Patagonia at a site called La Plata.
Remains of other pre-historic species were then found at the site. The
concentration of three distinct mammals dying at this one small sector
suggests there could have been human habitation nearby. If this were
true, we would have a very early human population for the Americas at
this place. Funding for further research is now being raised.
The Patagonia Times has the story here;

However, performing a thorough search of La Plata is a huge operation
in terms of money and time. The scientists are therefore in the
process of collecting the necessary funding that will allow them to go
beyond the stegomastodon discovery, and possibly to make a new
breakthrough in the history of the human populating process of our
planet.
