The Murray Springs Clovis Site lies in southern Arizona, near the San Pedro River, and served as a Clovis hunting camp about 11,000 years before the present. Archaeologists have identified five buried locations where large animals were killed and processed, together with the site of a Clovis camp; the quantity of megafauna processing and of tool making sets the site apart. It is within the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and is served by several trails, among them a third-of-a-mile interpretative path with exhibits and shade.
