Site 48UT375 exhibits evidence of four human occupations, three of which range in age from Paleoindian to Middle Archaic, while the fourth remains undated. Stratigraphic analysis of twelve samples from site 48UT375, which yielded radiocarbon ages ranging from 4030 to 4220 BP for the upper component and 8300 to 8600 BP for the lower component, yielded a pollen record reflecting changes in local vegetation. In addition, examination of features representing the upper occupation provided a...

Site 41HE338, located northeast of Poynor in southeastern Henderson County, Texas, occupies an ecotone between the Pineywoods and Post Oak Savanna ecological regions of East/Northeast Texas. Situated on a generally level Pleistocene strath terrace above Caddo Creek at an elevation of approximately 137 m (450 ft) above mean sea level (amsl) and approximately 15 m (50 ft) above the Caddo Creek floodplain, this site has been occupied intermittently since the Paleoindian period. Radiocarbon dates...

The Sorbello 1 Site (28-Sa-214) is located in Oldmans Township, Salem County, New Jersey. The site is bordered by Beaver Creek to the north and the Beaver Creek confluence and Myers Run to the northeast. Diagnostic tools recovered from the Sorbello 1 Site date to the Late Archaic Period (circa 4,000–1,500 BP), and Locus 5 dates to the Middle Archaic, spanning to the Transitional Archaic or Early Woodland. Eleven samples, including fire cracked rock (FCR) sediment and lithic artifacts, were...

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...

X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy was used to determine the source of 107 obsidian projectile points in surface collections from the Beartooth Mountains of south-central Montana and northwest Wyoming. Seventy-two percent of the points were from Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Evidence was found for change of source usage when the artifacts were grouped into cultural affiliation periods.

This report documents the methods and results of archaeological investigations at Sample Unit U19arP4 on Pahute Mesa at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Eight sites were located there: four lithic artifact scatters (26NY1370, 26NY1372, 26NY3666 and 26NY3667), two temporary camps (26NY3665 and 26NY5418), one artifact locality (26NY5419), and one quarry (26NY3664). One of the lithic scatters, 26NY3667, incorporated a previously recorded rock ring, 26NY1371 , that could not be relocated during...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District is presently constructing Blue Springs Lake on the East Fork of the Little Blue River in Jackson County, Missouri. The location of the project is in the tall grass prairie forest mosaic of the eastern Prairie Plains (Figure 1). This area is in the West Missouri Management Unit as defined by the Preliminary Draft Master Plan for Archaeological Resource Protection in Missouri prepared by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Completion...

During the winter of 1984-85 (before Hell Gap was acquired by the Wyoming Archeological Foundation) we observed an unusually large firepit eroding out of the left bank of the arroyo just below the Harvard Locality I excavation area. Numerous flakes, bones, firecracked rocks, and a few pot sherds were also eroding from the matrix surrounding the partially exposed feature. It was obvious that the pit would soon either erode entirely away or be looted by collectors that frequent the site. Much of...

The intent of this paper is to assist others with the objective of insights concerning the flora, food choices, and life styles of Native American hunter-gatherers of 2,000-12,000 years ago -particularly concerning the Wind River and Bighorn Basins of western Wyoming. The reason for full listings, rather than the shortened version found in archaeological reports, is to aid the student who would not have access to an extensive bibliography. Although it may appear to be redundant to state much the...

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...

Site 3MN298 is a multicomponent habitation site located along the Upper Ouachita River near Oden in Montgomery County, Arkansas. Diagnostic artifacts at the site are attributed to the Middle Archaic (circa 6000–5000 B.C.), Woodland (circa 1000–0 B.C.), and Mississippian (circa 1450–1650 A.D.) periods, suggesting multiple occupations. Cultural features included clusters of fire-cracked rock, a large trash-filled pit, and post stains from a Caddo house. Five chipped stone tools and two soil...

Wyoming’s steatite industry is at least 5500 years old, but steatite vessels are considerably more recent. Just how recent was determined by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating of the organic residue adhering to the inside of a fragmentary steatite vessel. The date of 101.7 ± 6 yrs BP is the first direct date on a steatite vessel in Wyoming. The surprisingly recent date raises questions about who used steatite vessels. Clearly, Shoshoni (and maybe even Euroamericans) used steatite in the...

This testing report and data recovery plan has been assembled to address issues specific to the construction of a pipeline and headworks associated with the Phase I expansion of Pima County’s Ina Road Wastewater Pollution Control Facility (treatment plant). It comprises three chapters sections, the first of which presents a project introduction and overview. The second chapter summarizes the results of the testing project and includes a discussion of eligibility of the archaeological properties...

Hell Gap (48G0305) is located in the Hell Gap Valley in Goshen County, Wyoming (Figure 1 ). The site contains at least five discrete localities (Figure 2) including remnants of a complete Paleoindian cultural sequence, from more than 11,000BP to 7 ,500 BP (IrwinWilliams et al. 1973). Initially investigated in 1959 by George Agogino of the University of Wyoming, the site was excavated by Agogino along with Henry Irwin, Cynthia Irwin, and J. O. Brew of Harvard University from 1961-1966. In...
