On a late September day in Montana, a group of my colleagues and I here at MeatEater collaborated with a team of archeologists to butcher a bison using an Ice Age tool kit made of stone. The goal was to create a collection of tools and bones that might help unravel the mystery of how our fellow hunters survived thousands of years ago.
Researchers are still analyzing the data collected during this experiment, but we will follow up with the results as soon as the study is published.
