We summarize here results of a data recovery effort at the MiniTrue site, 48UT1984. Between 1998 and 2000, the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist conducted testing and excavation at the site on behalf of the Wyoming Department of Transportation. MiniTrue is a Uinta Phase pronghorn processing locale in the Green River Basin, Uinta County, Wyoming. Two components were identified, both being short-term, task specific activity areas. Radiocarbon dates establish the oldest component at about...

Data recovery excavations were conducted during the 2010 field season by Western Archaeological Services at four prehistoric sites located within the Bridger Coal Company Underground Lease area. These sites include the Paired Feature site (48SW7456), the Kindra site (48SW7457), the Jake Roble site (48SW15052), and the North Side Playa site (48SW17323). The project area is located in southwest Wyoming within the Deadman Wash drainage system in the western portion of the Wyoming Basin. The area is...

Despite the central role of the Firehole Basin site in the conception of the Firehole phase in the Wyoming Basin, the lithic assemblage has never been reported. Excavated in 1976 and 1977, the site yielded chipped and ground stone, pottery, abundant faunal remains dominated by pronghorn, and two radiocarbon dates (625 ± 50 and 645 ± 45 RCYBP). Identifiable projectile points from the excavations consist of two tri-notched, two side-notched, and three unnotched arrow points. A Rose Spring point...

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...
