New radiocarbon dates for early use of Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump

Description

Three new radiocarbon dates were obtained from the oldest deposits at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump , in southern Alberta in an effort to more accurately bracket the earliest utilization of this significant site. This paper reports on those dates and places the early use of the site by Mummy Cave complex cultures in a broader chronological context of bison jump use on the Great Plains.
