Today’s post is shared by Erin Kelley. As part of the digitization efforts for the Vore project, we have been working to scan slides of photos that were taken at the Vore Site. This has been an exciting endeavor as we have been finding both famous photos that anyone familiar with the Vore site would recognize and also photos that are brand new to everyone in our office. These photos have helped to bring the Vore site, and its many different field seasons, to life. We look forward to sharing more with you in the coming months, but today we wanted to share some of our favorite images. These photos are of the famous N1 unit excavated during field seasons in the 1970s and the G25 block from the 90s. I feel these photos provide an amazing perspective of the bone bed as well as the intensity of the work needed to excavate it. I am particularly fond of the image showing the N1 unit with the different levels of excavation as it shows the density of bones at each level and just how deep the bone bed is. This particular photo is also special because it shows several crania that we have been working on in the lab as they were found in situ. These images, as well as 3D models of the crania, will be available to the public in the coming months as we work to get the Vore Buffalo Jump WyoDigital website, in conjunction with the University of Wyoming Libraries, up and running.

+2Vore is such an amazing place. My understanding is it was all achieved without horses. We've been there several times, but it's time to go back.
Molly Herron visted the Vore Buffalo Jump Site for the first time this past week while on an excavation with OWSA at the Courchaine Site, another bison jump in the same area.
Here is what she has to say about the visit: “Getting to visit the site I have spent so much time with indirectly, was incredible! It really brings home just how unique and special the site and surrounding area was/is to local indigenous groups. Also, seeing the depth of the intact bone bed compared to the amount of bones at UWAR is truly mind blowing! I was also very grateful to meet the staff and volunteers of the Vore site, it is obvious how much care, time and effort they have spent keeping this site preserved and available to the public. I am so happy I get to continue to work with them on this curation project! I would highly recommend visiting this incredible site if you are in Northeast Wyoming!”

The VBJF board would like to thank Molly and the UW Repository Staff for the incredible work they have done toward curation of the Vore Collection! It was great to finally meet Molly!
Where do we get more info on the courchaine site?
Amazing Place! So glad we happen to find it when we pulled off the interstate! Hope to get back there again soon!
Well done all!! Very cool to see!

This week, Molly Herron is sharing some good news about the accessibility of the Vore Collection. The Vore Photogrammetry Models are Live! UWAR has uploaded 15 bison and 1 canid skull model to our Sketchfab account sketchfab.com/uwar. Throughout the summer, we will be uploading additional models for a total of 87. The majority of these models will be bison crania, but we will also feature the canid crania and a small selection of projectile points. These models are available for download to any educator, researcher, or interested member of the public. Once downloaded, the model will feature a scale so researchers can perform basic zooarchaeological analysis without needing to drive to Laramie. Additionally, these models can be sent to a 3D printer, and a plastic model can be created from the original, allowing students to manipulate a Vore bison skull without the potential for harm. Our Sketchfab account will partner with a Vore Bison Jump website housed through the University of Wyoming Coe Libraries, where all primary documentation, photographs, maps, and our database will be available!
