Where the Buffalo Once Roamed
Where the Buffalo Once Roamed
This chapter describes the archaeology of the Great Plains. It focuses on the physiographic regions of the Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, Colorado Plateau, and Columbia Plateau which yielded information pertinent to prehistoric hunting. These physiographic features provide very different and rapidly changing vegetative cover critical to animal ecology. This chapter explains that the records of the livestock industry over more than a century suggest that prehistoric human survival must have been tested on many occasions.
