Hudson-Meng Bison Kill, Archaeological site in Sioux County, Nebraska, United States.

The excavation area contains preserved bones of over 600 ancient bison within a protected structure in the Oglala National Grassland.

Local ranchers Bill Hudson and Albert Meng discovered the site in 1954 while digging for a pond, leading to extensive archaeological investigations.

The site reveals information about early Native American hunting techniques and their relationship with bison through preserved stone tools and artifacts.

The Nebraska education center offers guided tours, interpretive exhibits, and a three-mile hiking trail connecting to Toadstool Geologic Park.

Research indicates the bison remains belong to a transitional species between the extinct Bison antiquus and modern North American bison.
