The discovery of green-fractured mammoth bone in Owl Cave in the 1970s inspired the original investigators to focus primarily on the possible association between these remains and Folsom points recovered from the same stratum. With the Museum of Idaho's recent acquisition of the complete Owl Cave collection, we have gained a better understanding of the periglacial processes that appear to have displaced and mixed mammoth remains with a younger Folsom component. New efforts to date bison bone also recovered from the lowest levels of the cave have produced radiocarbon dates that fall within the accepted age range of Folsom technology. These results have prompted efforts to investigate the potential for an association between the lithic assemblage and bison, a scenario that is much more plausible given our current understanding of the Folsom archaeological record.

重新审视猫头鹰洞穴:检查 Folsom-Bison 关联的证据



1970 年代在猫头鹰洞发现的绿色断裂猛犸象骨头激发了最初的研究人员主要关注这些遗骸与从同一地层中发现的福尔瑟姆点之间的可能关联。随着爱达荷州博物馆最近收购了完整的猫头鹰洞藏品,我们对冰周过程有了更好的了解,这些过程似乎已经取代了猛犸象遗骸并与更年轻的福尔瑟姆成分混合在一起。迄今为止的新努力也从洞穴的最低层中发现了野牛骨,产生的放射性碳测年法在 Folsom 技术公认的年龄范围内。这些结果促使人们努力调查石器组合与野牛之间可能存在联系,鉴于我们目前对福尔瑟姆考古记录的理解,这种情况更加合理。
