Vore: repeated bison hunting and changing technologies

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

Reher's dissertation analyzes a sampled sequence of hunting deposits, not every Plains hunting practice. Pierce and colleagues examine bone modifications to investigate stone and metal tool use even where the tools themselves were not recovered.

Stratified hunting and technology-transition context Approximately 1500–1800 CE; individual episodes and contact transitions qualified Animal-bone modification, stratigraphy, radiocarbon evidence and lithic analysis Sundance, Wyoming, United States (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, hunting, grazing, farming, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, hunting or travel permission is implied.
Überblick

Grasslands, households, villages, and the evidence

Grassland, river, foothill, and regional connections

Sundance, Wyoming, United States is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Repeated collective work and exchange are not proof that one unchanged people controlled all surrounding grasslands.

Political organization and community scale

Repeated collective work and exchange are not proof that one unchanged people controlled all surrounding grasslands. Stratigraphic episodes, inferred tool materials and tribal-association models are not exact censuses or automatic ethnic identifications.

Later transformation, living heritage, and modern reception

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Point styles and stone sources cannot alone recover the language of each hunting group. Events after 1800 CE and modern research, reconstruction and stewardship are dated separately from the main archaeological context.

Repeated local events Reher's dissertation analyzes a sampled sequence of hunting deposits, not every Plains hunting practice.

Historischer Verlauf

Eine kurze, quellengestützte Zeitleiste

Diese Meilensteine dienen der Orientierung und sind keine vollständige Geschichte.

  1. Repeated hunting sequence

    The dissertation's broad interval concerns studied deposits, not one unchanging group.

    [S1]

  2. Changing material networks

    The 2018 study evaluates contact-related technological change without equating new tools with population replacement.

    [S2]

  3. Dissertation synthesis

    Reher published a sampled interpretation of local hunting and adaptation.

    [S1]

  4. Bone modification analysis

    The authors tested indirect evidence of changing tools rather than assuming every episode was technologically identical.

    [S2]

  5. Further dating program

    The Foundation reported continuing work to refine episode chronology.

    [S3]
