Hudson-Meng Bison Kill Research & Visitor Center

Hudson-Meng Bison Kill Research and Visitor Center, Oglala National Grassland, Nebraska

The Hudson-Meng Bison Kill site is a fossil site located in the Oglala National Grassland, northwest of Crawford, Nebraska. It contains the 10,000-year-old remains of up to 600 bison. A visit to the Hudson-Meng Bison Kill Education and Research Center will allow you to view a contemporary archaeological excavation in progress.

Discovered in 1954 during the construction of a stockpond, the site was originally excavated in the 1970’s and interpreted as the largest Paleoindian-age bison kill site ever discovered, with as many as 600 animals having been taken in one hunt. Subsequent research during the 1990's led to differing interpretations as archaeologists then suggested that the bison died from multiple events. Some theorized that the main portion of the bonebed may not represent a hunting site at all but that the animals may have died during a natural event such as a raging prairie grass fire. Current researchers at the site, through the use of modern scientific techniques, are still attempting to solve the mystery!
