- Comments
- DiLh-VP2: Comment by R.E. Morlan: This sample of bison bone fragments included part of a left temporal bone, three fragments from the upper part of the brain case, both left and right nasal bones, a thoracic vertebral centrum with the complete neural arch and base of the neural spine, and segments of two ribs of which one has an intact proximal end. Evidence of subaerial weathering and root-etching is minimal, and there is no sign of gnawing by carnivores or rodents, and no sign of butchering by people. The bones were probably deeply buried soon after the death of the animal(s).
