Vore Buffalo Jump

An archaeologist friend recently sent me these great cards of a hunting site in Wyoming!


Card text indicates it was a sinkhole used as a bison trap, 1550-1800AD. Bison herds would be driven over the cliff and killed by the fall or hunters below. This was a common hunting method before horses became more available. The site is open to visitors during the summer and is an active archaeological dig, revealing bones and artifacts.
