“…It is possible that the axial elements could have been cooked, as that would have served to loosen the meat on them, rendering less butchery necessary (e.g., Bunn et al 1988 ;Gifford-González 1993 ;Henrikson 2003 ;Halstead 2007 ). However, although vertebral spines and processes are occasionally broken, the vertebrae remain relatively complete and-given the size of many of these animals-large, neither of which conditions are particularly indicative of "pot-sizing" nor conducive for boiling (e.g., Janzen et al 2014 ).…”

“…The mostly uncooked, uneaten meat would then need to be preserved in some manner. As freezing was not an option for the southern African hunters of the EIA, smoking, salting, or drying are other ways by which to extend the usability of meat (see Rixson 1989 ;Friesen 2001 ;Henrikson 2003 ;Friesen and Stewart 2013 ).…”

“…Between 1987 and 2004, seven ice caves on the eastern SRP were discovered to contain sagebrush features designed to keep bison products insulated and frozen (Henrikson, 1996(Henrikson, , 2003(Henrikson, , 2004Henrikson et al, 2006). These caves are scatted across the sagebrush steppe in Pleistocene-aged lava flows buried by a relatively thin layer of aeolian sediments (Fig.…”
