Stone age hunters used a variety of methods to kill the Woolly Mammoth. The weapons they used depended on which method they chose to use.

One method used by Mammoth hunters was the pit trap. The hunters dug a deep hole in the earth, and chased the mammoth past the pit hoping one would fall in. If one did fall in, then it probably died from the fall.

Another method chosen by the hunters was to chase the herd of mammoth over a cliff. Again, the mammoth probably died from the fall.

Another method used by the hunters was to circle around the mammoth and goad it into charging one of the hunters. When the mammoth charged the hunter, the other hunters would throw spears at the mammoth or try to cut the hamstrings on the mammoth's legs. If they were successful at cutting the tendons in it's legs, then they could get close and stab the mammoth with spears.
