Bison Hunting at Cooper Site: Where Lightning Bolts Drew Thundering Herds - Tapa dura

The Cooper site, discovered in 1922 in northwestern Oklahoma, is one of the largest bison kill sites in the southern plains. It has yielded major contributions to what is known about Paleoindian people at the end of the last ice age. This book outlines the history of the Cooper site, its discovery, and its excavation, and discusses what bones and projectile points reveal about bison herd demographics, butchering techniques, and hunting rituals. Includes b&w photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
