Slaughtering a bison with stone tools

from Let’s Hope The Weather Holds Hosted by Let’s Hope the Weather Holds

In this episode Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Kent State University in Ohio, USA, Metin Eren tells me about how he, his department and the Meateater crew slaughtered a bison with clovis tools. The trial was followed by a paper that describes their techniques, questions and results in depth. Metin tells me about flint knapping, new ideas in archeology, clovis people, life 13,000 years ago, what we know, what we thought we knew, what we don't know...you'll get it once you listen to the podcast. We agree that the clovis story is the story of all of us. For images go to my Instagram account.
