The North American Great Plains and Rocky Mountains have yielded many artifacts and other clues about the prehistoric people who once lived there, but little is understood about the hunting practices that ensured their survival for thousands of years. Noted archaeologist George Frison brings a lifetime of experience as a hunter, rancher, and guide to bear on excavation data from the region relating to hunting, illuminating prehistoric hunting practices in entirely new ways. Sharing his intimate knowledge of animal habitats and behavior and his familiarity with hunting strategies and techniques, Frison argues that this kind of firsthand knowledge is crucial for understanding hunting in the past.

"George Frison is an icon in American archeology.

"This small book is a record of achievement and dedication to learning rarely seen in the profession of archaeology. It is the inspirational product of a person who fully understands the critical importance of prior knowledge about the behavior of prey to inferring the activities of ancient hunter-gatherers. Students of past hunter-gatherers need to read this book."--Lewis R. Binford, author of In Pursuit of the Past

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Survival by Hunting: Prehistoric Human Predators and Animal Prey (Hardcover)
Frison is the expert on Plains Prehistoric Indians. If you read it from the beginning to end, you'll have an excellent idea of the history of prehistoric plains hunters and what we can determine from the few artifacts they left. This is one for your library!
