Abstract
AbstractThe analysis of the bone from a bison drive in north-central Montana corroborates the implications of White's analyses of bison bone from Plains villages: the heaviest non-meaty bone was left at the kill site, the bones rich in marrow were chopped up for marrow-extraction; even when many animals were available all were thoroughly utilized by the hunters. This excavation also confirms ethnographic data on season of drives, methods of butchering, and use of arrows for killing.
