Byerly, JudithR. Cooper,David J. Meltzer,Matthew E. Hill, and Jason M. LaBelle In Byerly et al. (2005) we explored the hypothesis that the Paleoindian component at Bonfire Shelter was the result of a jump kill. Our efforts involved extensive mapping and GIS analysis, a re-examination of the Paleoindian-age bison assem- blage, and consideration of the geomorphic history of the canyon in which the site is located. Weconcluded that the pre- ponderance of evidence indicated the Paleoindian-age bison remainsat Bonfire Shelter markeda processing site as Binford (1978) suggested, rather than a primary kill locality as originally interpreted(Dibble 1968).
