Barley Population in Bison Trail

Caption

A bison trail through a dense wild field of little barley. This plant is one of the progenitors of a North American lost crop. Heavy bison grazing activity seems to result in dense fields of this plant in the wild, which would have been easy for early foragers to collect the seeds from.
