The fat of the land: White Rock phase bison hunting and grease production

A focal bison hunting economy is evident for the White Rock phase, a Late P rehistoric Oneota culture of the Central Plains. This adaptation contrasts with the more generalized animal procurement of the preceding Central Plain s tradition and is similar to that of regional protohistoric cultures, such as the Lower Loup phase. Faunal remains from the White Rock site (14JW1), including those from a bone grease production feature, support this interpr etation.
