Little Remnants

Posted on October 27, 2009January 9, 2015

When the mountain buffalo roamed the Big Horns…

so, too, did their predators…
That day as I took photos about weaning and a reeking dog…
I walked around looking at the ground for evidence of these predators…
Here was evidence!

A flake of chert…
trash leftover from making an arrowhead or point…
debitage!
In fact…
I wandered around looking at the loose dirt of molehills or gopher mounds to see what they had scraped to the surface…
and I spied…

something awfully suspicious!
See that rock on the bottom left quadrant?
Close up it looked like this…
point1
Bifacially worked… it was the tip to a point!
How cool.
This is the first artifact I’ve found in a while…
While I danced around thrilled with my discovery…
Thanking the gods for blessing my search…
Vernon pocketed this.
point3
Aaaaargh!
He found it IN the corral…
The very same corral I ALWAYS look over…
The very same corral we work hundreds of cattle in…
point4
It was broken lengthwise and crosswise…
but what a gorgeous little remnant of hunters…
the predators that fed off of the mighty buffalo.

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
