The researchers say they have also done the first nuclear genetic analysis of the American mastodon.

研究人员说他们已经完成了首个美洲乳齿象的细胞核遗传学分析。

Scientists have now accurately carbon-dated the sharp tip that itself carved from mastodon bone.

如今，利用放射性碳素测定年代法，科学家已确定这一用乳齿象牙雕刻而成的长矛尖端的精确年代。

The rib containing the spear point was part of a collection of mastodon remains unearthed in the late 1970s.

The researchers also made what they say are the first sequences of nuclear DNA from the extinct American mastodon.

据研究者说，他们还首次完成了已灭绝的美洲乳齿象细胞核DNA序列的测定。

The mastodon became extinct about 10, 000 years ago - around the same time that mammoths disappeared from most of their range.

美洲乳齿象在约1万年以前灭绝 - 几乎在同一时间猛犸象也从大多数它们分布的地方消失了。

Previously the first indications of mastodon hunting were associated with the 'Clovis culture' which emerged some 1, 000 years later.

Although mastodon mitochondrial DNA has been sequenced before, the researchers say they were the first to do the analysis on DNA from the cell nucleus - in this case, using material from a tooth.

尽管此前已完成了美洲乳齿象的线粒体dna测序，研究者表示他们还首次实现了对细胞核dna的测序-在本例中使用的材料来自牙齿。
