  • A Brief Description of Helen Lookingbill's Southern Sublette County Collection (2000)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text James A. Lowe.

    The Southern Sublette collection represents an array of characteristics within the Scottsbluff and Eden styles of the Cody Complex. There is also clear evidence of individual knapping styles within the identified cultural styles which can be attributed to the idiosyncratic behavior and technological constraints of the flint knapper and that person’s own level of expertise and choice of material. Because of the surface nature of each individual artifact found, lack of geologic context or...

  • The Cache Hill Site (48CA61): A Bison Kill-Butchery Site in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming (2000)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Mark E. Miller. Galen R. Burgett.

    Test excavations at the Cache Hill site (48CA61) in Campbell County, Wyoming exposed a thick bison bonebed in the bottom of an arroyo formed by a first order tributary in the Powder River drainage basin. A radiocarbon date and comparisons with other assemblages show a Late Prehistoric context for the bison kill-butchery event. Current taphonomic and archaeological models for bonebed accumulation, distribution, and dispersal are considered to aid in interpreting site structure. The research...

  • The Conservation of Archaeological Metals: The Copper Alloy Cartridge Cases and Lead Slugs from Wyoming's Fort Fred Steele (2000)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Mark D. Hanson.

    North American archaeology is well behind European archaeology in effectively addressing the special conservation concerns for metal artifacts. The primary threat to archaeological metals is corrosion. The copper alloy cartridge cases and lead slugs recovered from Fort Fred Steele, Wyoming, are excellent examples of metal corrosion and conservation in North America. With a basic understanding of corrosion and corrosion products, effective recovery, cleaning, and storage techniques can be devised...

  • Reconnaissance Survey of the Big Horn County, Montana, Bison Jump-and-Kill Site (2000)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert Ferris. Gary Anderson. William Payne. Gil Bollinger.

    A Gatchell Museum Field Team conducted reconnaissance surveys of a Bison Jump-and-Kill site in Big Horn County, Montana, on May 15 and July 1, 1999. The Jump is over sandstone cliffs some 3.0 to 4.3 meters in height. That height may have been reduced somewhat by erosion of the past few millennia. Test holes and a two meter long trench yielded numerous bison bone pieces. Many were burned and charred and some showed cut and impact marks interpreted to be of human origin. Evidence of a probable...
