Vore Buffalo Jump, Archaeological site in Crook County, Wyoming.
The Vore Buffalo Jump contains a natural sinkhole measuring 200 feet in diameter and 40 feet deep, formed through gypsum soil erosion.
Native American tribes used this location between 1300 and 1700 AD to drive buffalo herds over the edge for hunting purposes.
Archaeological excavations in the 1970s uncovered ten tons of buffalo bones and numerous projectile points, showing the hunting methods of Plains tribes.
The site includes an interpretive center managed by the Vore Buffalo Jump Foundation, offering educational programs about Native American hunting practices.
Research indicates that approximately 95 percent of the site remains unexcavated, potentially containing up to 20,000 additional buffalo remains beneath the surface.
