Paperback. Condizione: New. At the place known as Head-Smashed-In in southwestern Alberta, Aboriginal people practiced a form of group hunting for nearly 6,000 years before European contact. The large communal bison traps of the Plains were the single greatest food-getting method ever developed in human history. Hunters, working… with their knowledge of the land and of buffalo behaviour, drove their quarry over a cliff and into wooden corrals. The rest of the group butchered the kill in the camp below.Author Jack Brink, who devoted 25 years of his career to "The Jump," has chronicled the cunning, danger, and triumph in the mass buffalo hunts and the culture they supported. He also recounts the excavation of the site and the development of the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Interpretive Centre, which has hosted 2 million visitors since it opened in 1987. Brink's masterful blend of scholarship and public appeal is rare in any discipline, but especially in North American pre-contact archaeology.Brink attests, "I love the story that lies behind the jump-the events and planning that went into making the whole event work. I continue to learn more about the complex interaction between people, bison and the environment, and I continue to be impressed with how the ancient hunters pulled off these astonishing kills.".

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to inside corners; small 1.5cm crease to bottom back edge; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; How could ancient hunters, lacking horses and firearms, persuade entire herds of bison to gallop to a particular spot on the edge of a cliff a…nd plunge to their deaths? What place did these dramatic perilous events occupy in their economy, culture, and religious practices? These are just a few of the questions archaeologist Jack Brink explore in this book, as he brings the most spectacular and successful food-getting enterprises ever devised to rich and vivid life. Working from eyewitness accounts by early European explorers, thousands of years of archaeological evidence, and ancient stories passed down over generations, Brink puts flesh on the bones of history in this epic, real-life tale of courage, ingenuity, and the struggle to survive.
