Late Prehistoric (Temporal Keyword)

Chipped stone is a ubiquitous part of the prehistoric hunter-gatherer archaeological record in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. It has long been recognized many chipped stone tools represent one element of a composite tool system which includes other perishable materials, such as wood and animal products. Because these latter materials rarely preserve, understanding the role of stone tools in prehistoric contexts is difficult. Although rare, some complete examples of these composite tools...

A small petroglyph boulder is in the open prairie country of northeastern Wyoming. On the upper flat surface are incised dim lines appearing to interact with an alignment of three animal tracks. The rock is believed to relate to a Late Prehistoric or early Historic Period of Native American rock art iil the Powder River Basin.

Big game, large bird, and canid (dog/wolf/coyote) figures are the most obvious zoomorph petroglyph motifs in the Bighorn and Wind River Basins. Canid petroglyph motifs, with many apparently dating 2000-6000 B.P., or possibly older, tend to prevail in specific areas of the southern Bighorn and northeastern Wind River Basins. The geographic distribution of these canid motifs appears to be more than coincidental. Examination of known/recorded Wind River and Bighorn Basin canid motif petroglyph...

This paper makes use of an in-depth analysis of cultural remains at the Hogsback site (48UT2516), an Archaic housepit site in southwestern Wyoming (see Figure 1), to explore a set of issues relating to hunter-gatherer mobility in the Archaic era. This site, which was reoccupied successively and almost continuously over a period of at least 4,000 years, provides an ample data set against which to discuss such topics as changing settlement patterns and subsistence strategies. In this paper, it is...

A single charcoal sample was recovered from the center of a ring style hearth in a burned rock midden at the Sundog Site, 02-231. This site is located in Brewster County, Texas, and is believed to represent a Late Prehistoric (Perdiz) occupation of the area around AD 1200-1700. The charcoal was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating.

The Eagle Tree site (48CO2920), a Late Prehistoric campsite, lies 2 km south of Antelope Creek in Converse County, Wyoming. Multiple thermal features indicate Thunder Basin Phase occupation. A charcoal fragment from hearth feature B11-F1 was submitted for identification. Previous radiocarbon analysis (Beta-361182) of this feature yielded a date of 1070 ± 30 BP (Munson 2014:27).

The Inman Buffalo site, 48SW3604, was exposed during trenching operations for a 12" Cities Services pipeline (Latady 1984). The site is located on the eastern side of a stabilized barchan dune. It was initially covered by sand, as much as two m thick on the southwestern side of the excavated area. Archeological excavations revealed 18 sq m of burned rock, bison bone fragments, one hearth and lithic artifacts (Figure 1). Approximately eight m2 of the main bone and fire-cracked rock scatter were...

The Integrate Cultural Resource Management Plan for 2018-2022, was developed to provide for effective management and protection of cultural resources. It summarizes the history and prehistory of the installation, and reviews past historical and archaeological survey efforts. It outlines and assigns responsibilities for the management of cultural resources, discusses related concerns, and provides standard operating procedures (SOPs) that will help to preserve the cultural resources of the...

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...

This report presents the results of a comprehensive documentation and analysis of ground stone bedrock features at LA 43414 (the Merchant site) and LA 121668. The bedrock features are located on lands administered by the Carlsbad Field Office (CFO) of the Bureau of Land Management and the New Mexico State Land Office. This project was funded under the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement (PBPA) administered by the CFO. This investigation recorded and examined 359 ground stone bedrock features...

The Kern River Pipeline will carry natural gas from the overthrust belt in southwestern Wyoming to a point of interconnection with the proposed Mojave Pipeline near Daggett, California. From there the combined Mojave/Kern River pipeline will convey the gas to the southern San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield, California. For purposes of regulatory compliance, including review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the Kern River project terminates at the point of...

During the spring of 1995, the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist located an area containing bison (Bison bison) bone and chipped stone artifacts eroding from several locations in a colluvial deposit at the base of a high ridge (Figures 1-3). This site was found during a class III survey for a Wyoming Department of Transportation borrow area, which was subsequently not developed. It is on federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management, Newcastle Field Office.

In the summer of 2001, Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (MAC) excavated a deeply buried campsite (48C02672) along LaPrele Creek in Converse County, Wyoming. Charcoal from two hearths produced conventional radiocarbon ages of 1200 ± 60 BP and 1100 ± 60 BP. The cultural level dates to the Late Prehistoric period (Frison 1991), and results suggest at least two and as many as four use episodes may be represented. During these use episodes, there appears to have been an emphasis on plant...

Despite the central role of the Firehole Basin site in the conception of the Firehole phase in the Wyoming Basin, the lithic assemblage has never been reported. Excavated in 1976 and 1977, the site yielded chipped and ground stone, pottery, abundant faunal remains dominated by pronghorn, and two radiocarbon dates (625 ± 50 and 645 ± 45 RCYBP). Identifiable projectile points from the excavations consist of two tri-notched, two side-notched, and three unnotched arrow points. A Rose Spring point...

In 1945, while surface-hunting for artifacts in the high country of the Big Horn Mountains, I discovered what appeared to be an ancient village site and buffalo-killing area situated in a saddle on the main divide immediately south of Little Bald Mountain at an elevation of 9,000 feet. Two small drainage ditches for the then little-used Wyoming Highway #14 had exposed arrowheads and bison bones, and an itinerant sheepherder informed me that in past years his daughter had gathered many buffalo...
