Communal Hunting Facilities as a Record of Human Cooperation (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Spencer Pelton.

Communal hunting facilities such as drive walls, hunting pits, and other features, are one of archaeologists’ most direct proxies for past human cooperation. At the least, communal hunting facilities are unambiguous evidence for past cooperative effort. They are also informative of the nature of that cooperation, since variation in facility size and configuration should reflect variation in cooperative behavior. In this study, I present a model designed to understand variation in communal...

Preliminary Investigations of Archaeological Vicuña Drives on the Andean Altiplano (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Randy Haas. Luis Flores. Bryna Hull. Nathaniel Kitchel. Patricia McNeill.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological game drives are well documented in many parts of the world but are virtually unknown in the Andes Mountains despite millennia of large-game hunting. Using satellite imagery, we identify nearly 200 V-shaped, stone-wall structures that exhibit qualitative and quantitative properties of game drives. Furthermore the features coincide with the...

Where the Buffalo Groan: Topographic Variables Governing the Placement and Spatial Organization of Wold Bison Jump, Wyoming (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brigid Grund. Todd Surovell. Spencer Pelton.

The Wold Bison Jump in Johnson County, Wyoming, is one of many prehistoric, mass kill sites scattered across the Plains. At Wold, a foraging basin of prime ungulate grazing habitat abuts the gently sloping backside of a bluff. Funnel-shaped drivelines of cairns extend across the top of the bluff towards a treacherous cliff. The drive was configured to constrain stampeding bison (Bison sp.) as prehistoric hunters communally drove them from the foraging basin to the precipice. Previous GIS...

Where the Buffalo Still Roam: Archeology of a Buffalo Jump and Prehistoric Village Site at Wind Cave National Park (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anne Vawser. Tim Schilling. Ashley Barnett. Allison Young. Michael Schumacher.

In 2011 Wind Cave National Park acquired new lands that include an important prehistoric site where American Indians once made their homes and practiced communal hunting. Two seasons of work at the site have resulted in the discovery of drive lines, rock cairns, processing areas, stone circles, ceremonial features and much more. What has been found at the site is equally as important as the way the work has been conducted, including the involvement of tribal monitors and volunteers, tribal...
