Samples from the fill of four hearth features at site MOC SD 3-4-2 and one hearth feature at 48SW10697(MOC WAM 2-4-18) were examined for macrofloral remains. These sites represent large prehistoric camps in southern Wyoming. The hearth from 48SW10697(MOC WAM 2-4-18) and one of the hearths from MOC SD 3-4-2 represent Middle Archaic occupations of the area with radiocarbon dates of 3810 ± 50 BP and 3620 ± 50 BP, respectively. A Late Archaic occupation is represented by Hearth 24 (1670 ± 60...

Three hearth sediment samples from Site 48NA1292 were examined for macrofloral remains. These samples were recovered from a basin-shaped fire lens and from a bowl-shaped pit inside a stone circle. Site 48NA1292 consists of stone circles, fire-altered rock concentrations, and a sparse surface scatter of chipped stone tools and lithic flakes. The stone circles are believed to be the remains of lodge structures. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning subsistence...

During recent excavations at the Maneater Cave site (Zeimens and Baars 1996) a number of slab-lined pit features were encountered (Figure 1). All appear to have been used as fire hearths. Three of these yielded corrected radiocarbon dates of BC 4080 (Beta 84881), BC 4340 (Beta 86401), and BC 4320 (Beta 85550). Located adjacent to some of the slab-lined features were shallow basin-shaped depressions. The hardened floor and blackened zone on the inside surface of these depressions indicate that...

Several white, cream, tan, red, brown, gray, and black clay [terra cotta) elbow pipes or pipe fragments representative of the exploratory, fur trading, westward immigration, and pioneer homesteading periods have been found in Wyoming. Information to identify the origins, models, and dates of those 19th Century clay trade pipes is relatively unavailable. However, Raymond C. Dickerson, owner of the Pamplin Pipe Factory, Pamplin, Virginia, has shared a great deal of information about elbow clay...

Pollen records from three archaeological sites associated with Porcupine Creek were examined. Site 48CA2631 provided a stratigraphic record for approximately the past 2000 years. Stratigraphic pollen records were examined from sites 48CA2631 and 48CA2635 to examine vegetation and the paleoenvironment. Features were sampled for pollen at 48CA2631, 48CA2634, and 48CA2635 to identify plants that might have been processed.

Samples from the Bird Canyon Site (48SU390) north of LaBarge, Wyoming, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site is a multi-component site with three cultural components, all representing occupation during the terminal portion of the Late Prehistoric Period (Firehole Phase). Radiocarbon dating of the middle component yielded an age of 100 ± 60 BP. Approximately one meter of stratigraphic sediments was examined for pollen to produce a paleoenvironmental record of this area...

Twenty-five pollen samples were submitted for analysis from the Moxa Housepit Site (48LN616). These samples represent three occupations. Occupation 1 contains several occupations that cannot be separated stratigraphically. Radiocarbon ages of 4430 ± 70 BP (Feature 5) and 4210 ± 70 BP (Feature 3) have been returned for Occupation 1. A previous date of 5790 ± 50 BP was available from Feature 4, noted in the upper portion of Occupation 1. A single radiocarbon age for Occupation 2 was obtained...

Fill from a small diameter, cylindrical hearth/oven was examined for pollen and starches. This hearth probably dates between AD 600-AD 950 and is located on Horse Creek.

Site 48SW19958 (21-WAS-008), situated on a narrow ridge and gentle north slope, overlooks Fillmore Creek to the east and moderately large tributaries of Fillmore Creek to the north and south. This site contained 21 scattered fire hearth features and various artifacts that included faunal bone, projectile points, and debitage. This multi-occupation site returned radiocarbon dates suggesting an estimated seven occupations during the Uinta phase of the Late Prehistoric and one occupation...

Site 48LN3651 is a prehistoric campsite comprised of two hearth remnants (Feature 1 and Feature 2) and a lithic scatter. Radiocarbon dates indicate that Feature 1 dates to 4,500 BP, where as Feature 2 dates to 2,500 BP. Fill samples from these features were submitted for pollen and macrofloral analysis.

One pollen and one macrofloral sample were selected for analysis from 48SU1144, while one pollen and three macrofloral samples were examined from 48SU1172. Groundstone was washed for pollen from both sites. Pollen and macrofloral analyses concentrated on identification of remains that would indicate subsistence activities at this site.

Samples from Sites 48SW10888, 48SW10893, 48SW9251, 48SW10233, 48SW10248, and 48SW6454 were analyzed for pollen and macrofloral remains. These sites are part of the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge project along the Green River in the Green River Basin of southwest Wyoming. Pollen samples were examined from stratigraphic columns and features at these sites. Vegetation and paleoenvironmental reconstructions were made from stratigraphic pollen records. he stratigraphic pollen records act as...

Samples from the fill of three shallow basin hearths at site MDU 8-35C in west-central Wyoming were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. The hearths were identified during road construction in the Wind River Basin. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the occupants of this site.

Site 48YE449 and 48YE454 are located at the mouth of Arnica Creek, which flows into the northern portion of West Thumb, Yellowstone Lake. Site 48YE1, the Fishing Bridge Site, is located along the Yellowstone River at the north edge of Yellowstone Lake. Both buried and surface fired rock features were noted and sampled for pollen and phytolith analysis from 48YE449. These features are presently located within a meadow along the lake shore. Pollen and phytolith analysis were undertaken to...

The Skull Hearth Site (48CA214) contains Middle Plains Archaic, Late Plains Archaic, and Late Prehistoric campsites. One house pit (S2B4-F2) contained seven thermal features clustered and slightly offset from the center of the house pit that probably represent hearths and ovens. Fill from these the features was submitted and examined for pollen and phytolith evidence of economic activity. Three charcoal and two botanic samples recovered from S1B6-F1 and S1B7-F1 were submitted for identification.

Previous pollen and protein residue analysis at the China Wall site examined a stratigraphic record extending from prior to 8300 BP to the present and recorded significant changes in local vegetation. In addition, pollen analysis of samples from features suggests that plants such as Cheno-ams, grasses, and prickly pear cactus might have been processed. Protein residue analysis pointed to bison, deer or elk, pronghorn, and possibly rabbit were hunted and processed. New stratigraphic...
