Bill Hudson and Albert Meng were local ranchers who are credited [4] [5] with discovering the bonebed in 1954 while digging for a pond. Originally excavated by Dr. Larry Agenbroad in the 1970s, the dig was over 400 square meters and was considered the largest Alberta Culture bison kill site ever discovered.
The Olsen–Chubbuck Bison kill site is a Paleo-Indian site that dates to an estimated 8000–6500 B.C. and provides evidence for bison hunting and using a game drive system, long before the use of the bow and arrow or horses. [1] The site holds a bone bed of nearly 200 bison that were killed, butchered, and consumed by Paleo-Indian hunters.

Map of the Trace. The Trace was created by millions of migrating bison that were numerous in the region from the Great Lakes to the Piedmont of North Carolina. [2] It was part of a greater buffalo migration route that extended from present-day Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky, through Bullitt's Lick, south of present-day Louisville, and across the Falls of the Ohio River to Indiana, then ...
A similar bone bed has been traced on the same geological horizon in Brunswick, Hanover , in Franconia and in Tübingen (Germany). [2] [3] A bone bed has also been observed at the base of the Carboniferous limestone series, in certain parts of the south-west of England. [1]
However, through further examination of the bone bed, signs of mass killings were found as a result. It was included that, "Traditional methods of communal bison hunting included three primary techniques: (1) impounding bison in pounds, (2) driving bison to trap or jump locations, and (3) surrounding bison in a surround".

In 2022, Russian researchers found a young bison from over 8,000 years ago in Siberia. Now, they want to clone it. Scientists Are Thinking About Cloning an Extinct, Mummified Bison
Larger in area than Switzerland, [4] it is the second-largest national park in the world. [5] The park was established in 1922 to protect the world's largest herd of free-roaming [6] wood bison. They became hybridized after the introduction of plains bison. The population is currently estimated at 3,000.
