Digging Up the Past: Bison Bone Flesher

An excavation uncovered a bone tool used to scrape flesh and fat from an animal hide at the Montague County Spanish Fort site. The bone flesher, made from the distal end of a left bison tibia, is a remnant of the past that tells archaeologists about the processes and resourcefulness of the people that lived there.

While the flesher was excavated at the Spanish Fort site, the fort itself didn’t only belong to the Spanish. The fort and three surrounding villages were later occupied by the Taovayas, a Wichita tribe. During that time, the Taovayas formed trading alliances with the French and nearby Comanches. However, in 1772, the Osage forced the Taovayas out and likely destroyed the fort and villages leaving behind artifacts like the bison bone flesher.

Yesterday was our annual company picnic. This year we held it indoors to beat the heat but still had tons of activities and great food! There were board games, pin the tail on the mammoth, a scavenger hunt, chair massages (which were great after a long 10-day), and more. To wrap it all up we had a huge gift card raffle. We were so pleased to see so many employees and their families join in the fun!
