The excavated cultural deposit at the Pathfinder Ranch site (48CR332) yielded five cultural components dating to the Uinta phase of the Late Prehistoric (Component 1), the Deadman Wash phase of the Late Archaic (Components 1-2), and the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic (Components 3-5). The cultural materials recovered from the five components suggests the occupations represent temporally punctuated short-term hunter-gatherer camps likely characterized by large mammal faunal resource...

The Bozovich family archaeological collection contains over 5,000 surface-collected artifacts from 712 sites in southwestern Wyoming during the period between 1932 and 1992. All the artifacts were cataloged with their own catalog number . Data were then entered into an IBM-PC computer using the Dbase III (r) software program. Specific objectives were to: 1. Place all artifacts into approximate archaeological time periods. 2. Make sets of tables for various time periods on: artifact types;...

In this article, chipped stone raw materials from the Garrett Allen site are discussed, with emphasis on the stone tools. As indicated by Eckles (2103), who discussed the history of investigations and chronology, this is one of several articles to be presented on various aspects of the site’s artifacts. One of the remarkable aspects of the site is the variety of chipped stone raw materials. There are varieties of flint, chert, agate, jasper, chalcedony, petrified wood, orthoquartzite,...

A soapstone pipe fragment was found at 48SW14906, an NRHP-eligible prehistoric site near the Eden Reservoir in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, by archaeologists working for Kail Consulting. Prehistoric chipped stone bifaces, metaquartzite and chert debitage, and five fire-cracked rock scatters were also found at 48SW14906.

The prehistoric component of the Boyd Cow Camp Archaeological Site (48SH1740) was first identified during an archaeological survey conducted by ACR Consultants, Inc., as part of a forest-wide Grazing and Vegetation Management Analysis. The site was later revisited by Terra Alta Archaeology. The prehistoric component is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D while the historic component was found not eligible with SHPO concurrence. Both contractors and...

Data recovery excavations were conducted at 48CR103 in southern Carbon County, Wyoming. A single component was identified consisting of at least three features. Soil profiles from these excavations indicated a deflated dunal setting which experienced a high degree of erosion from extensive livestock grazing and extended drought conditions. While no radiometric datable material was recovered, lithic tools suggest a Middle to Late Plains Archaic Period of occupation. Artifacts and features show...

The Garret Allen site contains a diverse assemblage of chipped stone, ground stone, ceramic, shell, and bone artifacts spanning at least 3,100 years of Wyoming prehistory. These remarkably diverse artifacts include a large number of projectile points from the Protohistoric to Middle Archaic periods, a great variety of chipped stone raw materials, a diverse assemblage of chipped stone tools, bone and antler tools, some ground stone artifacts, multiple ceramic types, and items often associated...

Six soil samples from four fire-cracked rock features at the Malin Creek Fishing Hole Site, 24YE353, in Yellowstone National Park, Montana, were floated to recover macrofloral remains. One metate was washed to recover pollen, starches, and possible protein residues that would aid in identifying plants processed using the metate. Lithic artifacts and radiocarbon dates reflect Late Paleoindian, McKean (3500-1000 B.C.), Pelican Lake (1000 B.C. to A.D. 400), and Avonlea (A.D. 250-1000)...

Site 48AB396 was located in 1982 during a class III cultural resource survey of the Rob Roy Reservoir project in Albany County, Wyoming (Eckles and Scott 1983). The site is located on the eastern side of Douglas Creek at 9240 ft in the Snowy Range Mountains of southeastern Wyoming. Archaeological excavations (Figure 1) were conducted at the site in 1983 by the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist (Reiss 1985). Seventy one meter square units were excavated with three sediment horizons being...

We used X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy to identify nine obsidian sources used by the prehistoric inhabitants of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This paper examines this prehistoric use of obsidian and obsidian sources. Variation in utilization patterns is suggested through study of temporally diagnostic obsidian artifacts. The diachronic pattern of sources used allows consideration of the influences in acquisition, distribution, and use of obsidian.

Both sites 24BH2317 and 24BH2613 are located in southeastern Montana on the west side of the present Tongue River Reservoir. Site 24BH2317 is a tipi ring campsite located on the upland, moderately rolling short grass and sagebrush prairie bordering the flooded valley of the Tongue River. This site appears to have a radiocarbon date of 3930 + 60 BP, indicating a McKean occupation. Four pollen samples were collected stratigraphically from the fill within Stone Circle 6 to identify vegetation...

Excavations for the Ur-Energy Lost Creek Project at the Battle Spring West site yielded remains from multiple occupations extending from the Opal phase through Uinta phase. The excavation data did not reveal evidence of longterm occupation, such as structural elements or semi-permanent, immovable processing tools such as large ground stone implements. Taken as a whole, the site assemblage suggests the archaeological remains are the result of hunting-related activities including camping, tool...

The Garrett Allen (Elk Mountain) archaeological site is located in southeastern Carbon County, Wyoming at the northern end of the Medicine Bow Mountains and southern edge of the Hanna-Carbon Basin. It is within a homoclinal valley adjacent to the perennial Quealy Spring which forms an ephemeral drainage flowing north-northwest. The site is surrounded by Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, primarily of the Pine Ridge Sandstone (Hayter 1983:5). Previously published articles on the site have...
