Bison Tibia Digging Stick Tip from 14PT304

Digging tools, such as this digging stick tip, are evidence of practicing horticulture. The bison tibia digging stick tip was recovered from a Middle Ceramic period archeological site in Pratt County that was attributed to Pratt Complex people. The Pratt Complex is poorly understood with limited evidence. This makes diagnostic artifacts such as this digging stick tip important to our understanding of earlier life styles.

Date: 1300-1500 CE
