A Canid Foot Bone Bead Workshop at a Bison Hunting Camp in the Powder River Basin (2002)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
This canid foot bone bead workshop/activity area was discovered at 48CA1366, the Harrier Nest site, a stratified, multicomponent camp along the Belle Fourche River. The major components at the site included Late Prehistoric tipi rings on the surface, a sequence of at least two buried occupations by ceramic bearing peoples with ties to Missouri River earthlodge villages, and a deeply buried Middle/Late Archaic living structure. Radiocarbon dates are available for each of the components. The site...

Castle Gardens Ceramic Vessel (2002)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
In 1987 a broken ceramic vessel was discovered at the Castle Gardens site in central Wyoming. Craig Bromley, Bureau of Land Management, assisted by members of the Wyoming Archaeological Society, conducted a test excavation recovering about 80% of the pot. Gail Gossett carefully restored the pot (Figure 1). In 1996, the Bureau of Land Management asked me to examine the restored pot; to offer a description of its manufacturing technique and its other attributes; and to compare the pot to other...

The Crazy Woman Cody Site, Johnson County, Northeastern Wyoming (2002)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
A Scottsbluff point was recently found in an upland area on a sand-covered slope next to an intermittent drainage. No additional materials were noted on the surface, but there is a potential for buried cultural deposits of interest to Paleoindian studies.

The Fremont and Plant Resouces Along the Colorado-Wyoming Border (2002)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Recent work in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado is demonstrating the extent of maize agricultural may be extended into the canyons of the Green River. This paper will look at how the Fremont utilized plant resources along their northern frontier to extend their occupation northward. We will synthesize the results of recent excavations and surveys to explain the nature ofFremont agriculture north of the Gates of Ladore on the Green River.

The Malli Goshen Site, Campbell County, Northeastern Wyoming (2002)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
A large single-component Paleoindian site was found on a short tributary to the Powder River during a recent energy survey. The intact site occupies a sand-covered bench bordered by intermittent drainages and a semipermanent seepage area. Surface artifacts include a variety of chipped stone tools, retouched pieces, debitage, and hearth remains. The site contains buried cultural deposits, with a good potential for future contributions to regional Paleoindian studies. No subsurface testing or...

Obsidian Source Utilization at the Trappers Point Antelope Kill Site 48SU1006 (2002)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy was used to study obsidian artifacts collected from the Trappers Point Site, a multicomponent Early Archaic pronghorn processing site, located west of Pinedale, Wyoming in Sublette County. The trace element concentrations for artifacts were compared to trace element concentrations from known sources. The majority (80%) of the identified materials were from the closest sources in Jackson Hole. The rest came from Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park and...

Probable Edible and Medicinal Flora Used by Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherer Groups in the Bighorn and Wind River Basins of North Central Wyoming (2002)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
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...
