Geo-Marine, Inc., Las Vegas, Nevada, conducted intensive cultural resources inventories on 10,624 acres and an experimental inventory on an additional 2,220 acres near Black Mountain (for a grand total of 12,844 acres) within the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). As a result of this effort, 143 archaeological sites were recorded; an additional 41 site locations were noted but not fully recorded during experimental inventories in the Black Mountain area.

The preliminary investigation of the hunting complex was essentially a blind reconnaissance performed on a volunteer basis. The primary goal was to locate, and document as thoroughly as possible, all portions of the drift fence and any potentially related sites. As the investigation proceeded, attempts at interpretation required continual revision with new findings. By the end of the field season, the primary goal of locating the drift fence in its entirety was accomplished, however the initial...

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....

Investigations at the Cedar Gap site ( 48NA83) resulted in the identification of a buried bison bone bed, buried bison bone processing areas, stone circles and stone cairns, and an extensive scatter of chipped stone artifacts along with pottery fragments. A Besant/Woodland component is present which includes the bone bed and processing areas. A Late Prehistoric to Protohistoric component is also present in at least one stone circle. The site contains one of the relatively few Besant components...

The Bozovich family archaeological collection contains over 5,000 surface-collected artifacts from 712 sites in southwestern Wyoming during the period between 1932 and 1992. All the artifacts were cataloged with their own catalog number . Data were then entered into an IBM-PC computer using the Dbase III (r) software program. Specific objectives were to: 1. Place all artifacts into approximate archaeological time periods. 2. Make sets of tables for various time periods on: artifact types;...

Test excavations at the Cache Hill site (48CA61) in Campbell County, Wyoming exposed a thick bison bonebed in the bottom of an arroyo formed by a first order tributary in the Powder River drainage basin. A radiocarbon date and comparisons with other assemblages show a Late Prehistoric context for the bison kill-butchery event. Current taphonomic and archaeological models for bonebed accumulation, distribution, and dispersal are considered to aid in interpreting site structure. The research...

This canid foot bone bead workshop/activity area was discovered at 48CA1366, the Harrier Nest site, a stratified, multicomponent camp along the Belle Fourche River. The major components at the site included Late Prehistoric tipi rings on the surface, a sequence of at least two buried occupations by ceramic bearing peoples with ties to Missouri River earthlodge villages, and a deeply buried Middle/Late Archaic living structure. Radiocarbon dates are available for each of the components. The site...

In 1987 a broken ceramic vessel was discovered at the Castle Gardens site in central Wyoming. Craig Bromley, Bureau of Land Management, assisted by members of the Wyoming Archaeological Society, conducted a test excavation recovering about 80% of the pot. Gail Gossett carefully restored the pot (Figure 1). In 1996, the Bureau of Land Management asked me to examine the restored pot; to offer a description of its manufacturing technique and its other attributes; and to compare the pot to other...

The EKW #1 site (48NA969) was located during a class III survey of the Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park in 1984 (Eckles 1984). The site appeared as a large surface scatter of artifacts and bone, covering over five acres. The site was considered unusual at the time due to the high numbers of prehistoric ceramic artifacts. Late Prehistoric age projectile points, a variety of chipped stone tools, shell beads and animal bone were also recorded during the surface inventory. The density of surface...

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 soapstone pipe fragment was found at 48SW14906, an NRHP-eligible prehistoric site near the Eden Reservoir in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, by archaeologists working for Kail Consulting. Prehistoric chipped stone bifaces, metaquartzite and chert debitage, and five fire-cracked rock scatters were also found at 48SW14906.

An open cave in an active tourist area on the east side of the Bighorn Mountains is covered with intensive graffiti obscuring the original wall surface. However, inspection of the cave walls revealed earlier Native American grooves among and beneath modern incisions and paint. These figure are part of a common rock art theme dating back at least to the Late Archaic and continues into the Historic period, with grooves at this site probably made during the Late Prehistoric period. Although many...
