1-3 (3 Records)
Archaeological excavations at the Ferris Dune site (48CR310) yielded two buried cultural components. Component 1 dated to the Late Prehistoric Uinta phase (950 ± 30 years B.P.), and Component 2 dated to the Late Archaic Deadman Wash phase (1920 ± 30 years B.P.). Component 1 represents a relatively well preserved hunting camp where at least two bison were processed, while the cultural materials associated with Component 2 were appreciably more ephemeral and representative of a nondescript short...
Archaeological Excavation at the Pathfinder Ranch Site (48CR332): A Stratified Multicomponent Site Located Near the Ferris Mountains of Central Wyoming (2014)
The excavated cultural deposit at the Pathfinder Ranch site (48CR332) yielded five cultural components dating to the Uinta phase of the Late Prehistoric (Component 1), the Deadman Wash phase of the Late Archaic (Components 1-2), and the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic (Components 3-5). The cultural materials recovered from the five components suggests the occupations represent temporally punctuated short-term hunter-gatherer camps likely characterized by large mammal faunal resource...
POLLEN AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 48CR310 (11-WAS-003), CARBON COUNTY, WYOMING (2012)
Site 48CR310 contains evidence of multiple occupations along the northeastern margin of the Ferris Mountains in central Wyoming. Component 1, an intensive occupation, represents a short-term bison processing camp. Component 2 represents an ephemeral occupation. Four stratigraphic samples were examined for pollen evidence of vegetation and fill from a thermal basin was examined for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR analysis provides information concerning...
