Recent research on the Garrett Allen site has discussed the excavation history, projectile points and chronology of the site (Eckles 2013), chipped stone raw materials and obsidian sourcing (Eckles and Guinard 2015), chipped stone projectile points (Eckles and Miller 2019), and research potential of the collection (Clauter 2013). Data on these topics have indicated support for the idea the site represents a series of special place gatherings over about 3,100 years of prehistoric occupation....
Chipped Stone Raw Materials from the Garrett Allen (Elk Mountain) Site, 48CR301 (2015)
In this article, chipped stone raw materials from the Garrett Allen site are discussed, with emphasis on the stone tools. As indicated by Eckles (2103), who discussed the history of investigations and chronology, this is one of several articles to be presented on various aspects of the site’s artifacts. One of the remarkable aspects of the site is the variety of chipped stone raw materials. There are varieties of flint, chert, agate, jasper, chalcedony, petrified wood, orthoquartzite,...

A brief introduction to the site excavations and chronology is presented first. More detailed information about previous investigations at the site is discussed in Eckles (2013).
An Introduction to the Excavations at the Garrett Allen Site (48CR301), Carbon County, Wyoming (2013)
The Garret Allen site contains a diverse assemblage of chipped stone, ground stone, ceramic, shell, and bone artifacts spanning at least 3,100 years of Wyoming prehistory. These remarkably diverse artifacts include a large number of projectile points from the Protohistoric to Middle Archaic periods, a great variety of chipped stone raw materials, a diverse assemblage of chipped stone tools, bone and antler tools, some ground stone artifacts, multiple ceramic types, and items often associated...
Projectile Points from the Garrett Allen (Elk Mountain) Site, 48CR301 (2019)
The Garrett Allen (Elk Mountain) archaeological site is located in southeastern Carbon County, Wyoming at the northern end of the Medicine Bow Mountains and southern edge of the Hanna-Carbon Basin. It is within a homoclinal valley adjacent to the perennial Quealy Spring which forms an ephemeral drainage flowing north-northwest. The site is surrounded by Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, primarily of the Pine Ridge Sandstone (Hayter 1983:5). Previously published articles on the site have...
Varieties of Corner-Notched Arrow Points In Wyoming (2021)
An examination of corner-notched arrow points in Wyoming is presented. Emphasis will be on points commonly included in the Rose Spring/ Rosegate series with an analysis of other cornernotch arrow points which are probably not part of the Rose Spring/Rosegate series. Data were gathered from both excavated and dated components as well as from surface recorded sites in Wyoming. These data were searched in the Wyoming SHPO Cultural Records Office databases from the early 1970s through 2014 (the 2014...
