This article presents an analysis of the bison assemblage recovered from excavations at the Boarding School site (24GL302), located in Glacier County, Montana. Excavations at the site took place following the inadvertent discovery of a large bone bed uncovered during foundation construction for a new school by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The assemblage represents contexts associated with both the adjacent Late Precontact period bison kill site first excavated by Thomas Kehoe in the 1950s and the later occupation of the site during its use as a boarding school for Blackfoot children in the first half of the twentieth century. Through these remains, this work provides new insight into this continually used landscape
