Bison as a food source for southern Plains §cultures has fluxed through the millennia. The §focus on bison is likely correlated to available §forage. Environment-induced changes in herd size, §structure and distribution led to changes in human §predation. The Late Archaic saw the rise of a unique §type of bison procurement, the arroyo trap. Traps §were used for a relatively short period (150 BC to §AD 350). Instead of leading herds over a precipice, §herds were stampeded into dead-end canyons where §they were assailed. These cooperative ventures are §reflected in the bones removed from and the stones §and bones abandoned at the kill. The risk and energy §needed to exploit this resource transformed Late §Archaic hunter-gatherers from loosely affiliated §groups into a taskforce that assembled seasonally to §track, drive, kill, dismember, debone and transport §their quarry back to their individual kin groups. §This study should be useful to those interested in §Great Plains prehistory, applying hunter-gatherer §theory, or employing archaeological methods and §techniques used to excavate, analyze and interpret §skeletal remains associated with a catastrophic kill.
