That is the story.
Seasons by Joe Haldeman.
I would have read it as part of Dealing in Futures, a collection of his short stories.
Glad you found your short story, STU. Link for Genesistrine's find in Dealing in Futures by Joe Haldeman.
A group of explorers/alien sociologists had landed on a planet and joined a tribe of natives.
Everything going OK, then the aliens undergo some sort of seasonal change and just start slaughtering them all.
The group is on the run back to their space-ship - in small groups and separated. I think there is also a place where they buried weapons and tech-tools along the way.
