June 27, 1999 Building boom reveals kill site
By NOVA PIERSON -- Calgary Sun
Calgary's booming future is allowing a window into the region's distant
past. A housing development west of the city near the Elbow River has
unearthed a buffalo kill site, which archeologists date back 1,400 years.
"We're getting an understanding," said Thomas Head, senior archeologist for
Bison Historical Services.
The kill site, south of the Elbow River and north of Hwy. 8, holds stone
and bone tools used by the area's Aboriginal people 14 centuries ago. Bones
left from the buffalo tell experts the site was used once, probably during
a fall kill, and the bison were processed on-site. They also tell much
about the herds themselves, said Head, since female, male and calf bones
were unearthed. "It's a pound, not a jump, so they were driving the bison
into a corral structure, killing them and processing them right there,"
said Head. Head said the remains of somewhere between 30-40 buffalo have
been found there. "We can't associate it to any particular ethnographic
group at 1,400 years ago," he said. "It's possibly associated with the
historic Blackfoot," said Head. Bison Historical Services has been doing
the dig for Hopewell Residential Communities.
