来自阿尔伯塔西南部沃利海滩遗址的证据表明，更新世的马被克洛维斯时代的人猎杀。一些文物与马骨架有关，包括一个切割标记的舌骨，表明屠宰和一个薄片突出的椎骨之一，建立考古材料是没有侵入性。一个大的未修改的鹅卵石显然是用来标记杀死或锚该高速缓存。其他六个发现的马遗骸也有相关的石器。研究马的行为是为了推测狩猎策略。结论是人类和气候变化可能有助于晚更新世北美马的灭绝。
Evidence from the Wally's Beach site in southwestern Alberta indicates Pleistocene horses were hunted by Clovis age peoples. A number of artifacts are associated with a horse skeleton, including a cut-marked hyoid indicative of butchering and a flake projecting below one of the vertebrae that establishes the archaeological material is not intrusive. A large unmodified cobble apparently was used to mark the kill or anchor the cache. Six other finds of horse remains also have associated lithic artifacts. Horse behavior is explored to speculate on hunting strategy. It is concluded that humans and climate change probably contributed to the late Pleistocene extinction of North American horses.
