During the 2003 University of Wyoming field season (Lamberson et al. 2003), auger probes placed at the Baars Locality verified the buried paleosol extended northwest of the arroyo (Figure 3). Two one-by-one meter test units were established at the Baars Locality (14F42-18 and 14F38-24). Work on unit 14F42-18 was finished the 2003 summer while 14F38-24 was only partially excavated. In the spring of 2004, a small crew spent two days finishing 14F38-24, and also excavated two other test units...


A Notched Tool from the Hell Gap Site Area I (1995)
DOCUMENT Full-Text George M. Zeimens. Harry Earl. Geri McIver. Dewey Baars. R. Clayton Housh.

This artifact, probably a hafted knife, was discovered at the Hell Gap site on November 2, 1994, by George Zeimens while on a field trip with a group of third and fourth grade students from Lingle Elementary School. The tool was found on a talus pile in front of an animal burrow. The burrow had been dug into the perpendicular stream bank approximately 25 m southwest of the western edge of the Harvard Area I excavations, and about 0.95 m below the present ground surface. It is presumed that the...

During the winter of 1984-85 (before Hell Gap was acquired by the Wyoming Archeological Foundation) we observed an unusually large firepit eroding out of the left bank of the arroyo just below the Harvard Locality I excavation area. Numerous flakes, bones, firecracked rocks, and a few pot sherds were also eroding from the matrix surrounding the partially exposed feature. It was obvious that the pit would soon either erode entirely away or be looted by collectors that frequent the site. Much of...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Kristen Lamberson. Derek T. Anderson. Mia Lyren. Lisa Tromley.

Hell Gap (48G0305) is located in the Hell Gap Valley in Goshen County, Wyoming (Figure 1 ). The site contains at least five discrete localities (Figure 2) including remnants of a complete Paleoindian cultural sequence, from more than 11,000BP to 7 ,500 BP (IrwinWilliams et al. 1973). Initially investigated in 1959 by George Agogino of the University of Wyoming, the site was excavated by Agogino along with Henry Irwin, Cynthia Irwin, and J. O. Brew of Harvard University from 1961-1966. In...
