A Quantitative Investigation of the Cultural Topography of Hunt and Sheep Mountains, Bighorn National Forest, Whyoming (2005)
The use of high altitude environments in western North America and by pre-contact and historic Native American groups has been a theme in archaeological investigations especially since the advent and demands of cultural resource management on federally managed land. The terrain of Hunt and Sheep mountains (2800-3100 m) in the Bighorn National Forest of northern Wyoming is a topographically bounded environment that has avoided intrusive or destructive archaeological investigations (Figure 1). In...

A Radiocarbon Date on the Residue Adhering to a Steatite Vessel from Southern Wyoming (1995)
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...

Charcoal from one feature and a suspected processing area at 24PH2976, a suspected Late Prehistoric communal bison kill site in the Missouri River breaks area north of Lake Fort Peck in Montana, were identified and AMS radiocarbon dated.
The Raid Lake Sheep massacre (2003)
Wyoming's wide open spaces and lush grasses attracted both cattle and sheep ranchers, but cattlemen assumed primacy since they arrived first. Federal law disagreed. Sheep raids had happened since the late 1890's, but reached a peak in 1902 with the Raid Lake sheep massacre in which an estimated 1000-2000 sheep were killed. The Raid Lake Sheep Massacre site has been well documented through the years with site revisits by the Forest Service in 1911, 1914, 1916, and the 1960's. Presented here are...
Rails East to Ogden: Utah's Transcontinental Railroad Story (2021)
A largely unknown national treasure rests within a two-hour drive from Salt Lake City. Tucked into the sparsely populated western expanse of Box Elder County, Utah, the ghosts of the United States' first transcontinental railroad still haunt 87 miles of abandoned original railroad grade on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM}, National Park Service (NPS) and, to a lesser extent, private land. Raymond and Pike's Rails East to Promontory: ELM-Utah Cultural Resource Series No. 8...
Rakita_The Mortuary Practices of the Casas Grandes Region: A Preliminary Database. (2011)
I present a preliminary regional database of mortuary practices for the Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua, Mexico. The reported prehistoric mortuary remains from the region are overwhelmingly drawn from the Paquime and Convento sites reported by Charles C. DiPeso and colleagues. Often overlooked, however, are several smaller samples that are reported with less detail. Given the complex nature of mortuary ritual from the region (especially in the late ceramic periods), the structure of the...

Rancho Vistoso Community Archaeological Site Inventory Report (1986)
Archaeological fieldwork for the Rancho Vistoso Survey was done between March 31, 1986 and July 3, 1986. A total of 240 person days was expended surveying the nearly 8,000 acres within the project boundaries. Forty-six sites and 128 non-sites were recorded and given field designations (FD’s). Two large prehistoric villages, known from earlier archaeological work in the area, were also mapped in detail and systematic surface collections made. The following section describes all surface artifact...
