Bison bones that could date back 14,000 years were found during excavation for the new Nigel House, and likely come from one large animal at the time of glacial retreat, a paleontologist says
Bison bones that are as much as 14,000 years old have been unearthed at the construction site for the new Nigel House, a facility for adults with disabilities near Saanich Municipal Hall.
Davies said it’s rare to find multiple elements of one animal in context, “to work out the environment that it was living in.” The bones found Friday, including a foreleg, came from the pile of material left from the original excavation, and are likely from the same bison remains located earlier, he said.
