DIG DEEPER – The Vore Buffalo Jump is one of the most important archaeological sites of the Late-Prehistoric Plains Indians. Discovered during the construction of Highway I-90 in the early 1970s, the Vore site is a natural sinkhole that was used as a bison trap from about 1500 to 1800 A.D. Native Americans hunted buffalo by driving them over the edge. Help University of Wyoming students dig for arrowheads! Learn more and get exact directions at www.vorebuffalojump.org.
