| Field school student Dee Ann Suhm gets a close-up view of the articulated bison limbs found just above Zone 4 at the rear of the shelter. Her theory is that a bison, wounded by Folsom hunters, died in the shelter, thus accounting for the five complete Folsom points found there. The bones are the only evidence of a Folsom-age deposit to survive the destruction of the treasure hunters. Suhm, who later married illustrator Hal Story, went on to earn a Ph.D in archeology and become a professor of anthropology at UT-Austin and, later, director of TARL. TARL archives. |
