'The Casper site is one in a long tradition of bison procurement
site studies by George Frison. This site typifies the use of the
parabolic sand dune for bison trapping. The suite of analyses
employed set the standard for kill site archaeology on the Plains
and around the globe.' (Leland C. Bement, Oklahoma Archeological
Survey)
'With astonishing fidelity the events of an ancient bison kill are
uncovered from the rolling sands of Wyoming. That these remarkable
events happened 10,000 years ago, and yet we see them so clearly
today, is testimony to the skill of Frison and his team of
researchers. A landmark publication.' (Jack W. Brink, Royal Alberta
Museum)
'The brainchild of a remarkable archaeologist and a benchmark in
integrative archaeological science, putting to work innovations in
spatial analysis, experiments in technology and vertebrate
taphonomy, hunter-gatherer ethnoarchaeology, geology, and
zooarchaeology. One cannot help but sense the squeak of sand
churned by desperate hooves when reading this classic study.' (Mary
C. Stiner, University of Arizona)
