Investigation of a 10,214 Year Old Late Paleoindian Bison Kill at the Howard Gully Site in Southwestern Oklahoma.

Excavation of the Late Paleoindian Howard Gully site (34GR121) in southwestern Oklahoma revealed the remains of one to two bison in association with a shallow side-notched spear point. In some respects, this point style resembles San Patrice points found in the Eastern Woodlands. An analysis of the bison feature, associated lithic materials, and their context is presented in this paper. The Howard Gully site provides an important contribution towards furthering our knowledge of Late Paleoindian chronology and behavior and raises important questions about forager social interactions.
