The Oxbow Complex is a Late Archaic period complex situated in the Northern Great Plains[1] that lasted from about 5200 to 3800 BP.[2] Their points are concave, and are designed for atlatls. They hunted bison, elk, geese, and bear.[1] The complex was defined by archaeologists Boyd Wettlaufer and William Mayer-Oakes in 1960. The Oxbow complex is connected to the Gowen complex, which is believed to have existed between 6100 and 5200 BP.[2]
