Agate Basin site : a record of the Paleoindian occupation of the northwestern High Plains, by George C. Frison, Dennis J. Stanford • New York • Published In 1982 • Pages: 270-274
By: Walker, Danny N..
Abstract
Walker discusses how the pronghorn antelope and other small mammals were introduced to the site. As the antelope remains have been extensively modified they were probably killed and butchered away from the site. Four other species of animals also show signs of butchering: wolf, domesticated dog, fox, and jack rabbit.
