HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
This stratified campsite is one of many Late Prehistoric sites. However, unlike most sites, it is directly associated with a buffalo jump. This is an important site not only because of the materials already recovered, but also because of its potential for future development. This type of site is relatively rare, particularly in this condition.
