One of the world's premier archeological sites is located at the edge of
the northern Black Hills in Wyoming. For over three hundred years,
Plains Indian groups stampeded bison over the rim and into a deep
natural "sink hole" at the site which is now called the Vore Buffalo
Jump. It was one of the most effective means available to the Indians to
procure the buffalo which were their primary food and the source of many
other materials used in their cultures. It is believed that up to 20,000
of the shaggy bison were trapped at this one location.
