• WIND DAVE NATIONAL PARK, S.D. (AP) -- A recent archaeological investigation indicates the buffalo jump at western South Dakota's Wind Cave National Park

may have been used for various activities for as long as 4,000 years.
• Buffalo jumps are cliffs that American Indians used to kill bison by driving the animals over the edge.
• National Park Service archaeologists recently completed a three-week investigation of the Sanson Buffalo Jump in the park. They used walking surveys, technical equipment and excavations to map the Black Hills site.
• Wind Cave National Park Superintendent Vidal Davila says artifacts and features discovered so far lead the archaeologists to believe the site was used as a buffalo jump, campsite and place for ceremonial activities. He says those activities apparently took place over a long period of time, possibly as much as 4,000 years.
