The Casper Site : A Hell Gap Bison Kill on the High Plains (revised edition) Paperback / softback
Edited by George C. Frison
Part of the Foundations of Archaeology series
Paperback / softback
Description
George Frison's report on the 10,000-year-old Casper Site helped establish how large animal communal kill sites should be excavated, analyzed, and reported.
With his background in ranching and hunting, Frison knows more about large animals than any other archaeologist.
In The Casper Site Frison began to share that knowledge as well as the techniques of bone bed excavation; that, and the book's interdisciplinary approach, make it a landmark in paleoindian archaeology and faunal analysis. As Marcel Kornfeld writes in his new introduction, 'One of Frison's outstanding contributions to Great Plains prehistory has been in the arena of bison studies and bone beds in particular, and Casper is one of its finest examples.' The first edition of this book was published by Academic Press in 1975, and has been out of print for some years.
