The 1,100-year-old mystery of Montana’s lost bison hunting site finally solved
For nearly 700 years, Indigenous hunters repeatedly used a bison kill site in central Montana-then suddenly stopped, even though bison were still abundant. Researchers uncovered evidence that recurring, decades-long droughts likely made the site less practical by reducing access to the water needed to process large numbers of animals. At the same time, hunting groups were shifting toward larger, more coordinated operations that required dependable resources and specialized locations.
