File talk:Bison skull pile, ca1870.png
I recognize this photo has being from the national archives and Library of Canada, so even though it is PD, you should try and dig up the accession number Fawcett5 01:47, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
It says 'head' in the description - does it mean herd, I don't get how that sentence makes sense.
- "Head" is a unit of counting livestock as in, "50 head of cattle." The caption could have read, "a few hundred individual bison." A2Z 20:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
size[edit]
it's very small for a featured picture. --Ysangkok 20:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sometimes that's all we have got with historic pictures. But content beats size every time. If you are lucky and dig around a bit with the clues given in the source link, you can sometimes find a archive with a larger version that you could upload (often the link to the big archived raw Tiff, isn't as obvious as the jpeg that was originally uploaded). -- Solipsist 23:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Better scan, smaller resolution[edit]
The photograph seems to not be scanned very well, at least compared to another scan I found here and I've upload to the commons here: Buffalo_skulls.jpg. Hartmanga (talk) 14:40, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Much better copy also on Wikimedia[edit]
There is a much better version of this file also on Wikimedia here. Does this one still need to exist? B.Rossow · talk 18:24, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
