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...

The intent of this paper is to assist others with the objective of insights concerning the flora, food choices, and life styles of Native American hunter-gatherers of 2,000-12,000 years ago -particularly concerning the Wind River and Bighorn Basins of western Wyoming. The reason for full listings, rather than the shortened version found in archaeological reports, is to aid the student who would not have access to an extensive bibliography. Although it may appear to be redundant to state much the...

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...

The Bear River Site (48GO22) was located in 1979 during a class III cultural resource survey for a Wyoming Department of Transportation project along the LaGrange Road in Goshen County, Wyoming near the town of LaGrange (Sanders and Francis 1979). The site is in extreme southeastern Wyoming, near the Nebraska border. Artifacts and bone were first identified eroding from an apparent natural (erosional) cut in the third alluvial terrace above the river. This included flakes and a possible large...

The Sundog Site (24LC2289) represents a prehistoric, short-term occupation and is situated on a large bench near the head of Indian Creek adjacent to the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness Area in Helena National Forest, Lewis and Clark County, Montana. Thirteen lithics recovered from the site were selected and submitted for protein residue analysis to identify animals hunted or processed at the site.

Five small arrow points from prehistoric Site CA-SDI-14,808 in San Diego County, California were analyzed for possible protein residues. This site is believed to represent a Late Prehistoric occupation. Protein residue analysis was undertaken to determine if these points were used to hunt any of the animal species represented by the available antisera.

This report presents the results of the second season of investigations at the Merchant village site (LA 43414) in southeastern New Mexico. The excavations and analyses were sponsored by the Carlsbad Field Office (CFO) of the Bureau of Land Management and funded under the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement. Excavations focused on sections of room blocks in two areas of the main village, the agricultural fields, and midden deposits.

Wyoming’s steatite industry is at least 5500 years old, but steatite vessels are considerably more recent. Just how recent was determined by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating of the organic residue adhering to the inside of a fragmentary steatite vessel. The date of 101.7 ± 6 yrs BP is the first direct date on a steatite vessel in Wyoming. The surprisingly recent date raises questions about who used steatite vessels. Clearly, Shoshoni (and maybe even Euroamericans) used steatite in the...

A Gatchell Museum Field Team conducted reconnaissance surveys of a Bison Jump-and-Kill site in Big Horn County, Montana, on May 15 and July 1, 1999. The Jump is over sandstone cliffs some 3.0 to 4.3 meters in height. That height may have been reduced somewhat by erosion of the past few millennia. Test holes and a two meter long trench yielded numerous bison bone pieces. Many were burned and charred and some showed cut and impact marks interpreted to be of human origin. Evidence of a probable...

A small petroglyph panel is in the scoria uplands of northeastern Wyoming. A set of vertical parallel lines and individual horse tracks represent two motif classes typical of equestrian period Native American biographic rock art in the Powder River Basin. The lack of associated human (including faces only), horse, and weapon figures seems unusual. Modern inscriptions on an adjacent panel display stylistic trends of Euroamerican rock art and contrast in technology, content, and message from...

Testing and data recovery excavations were conducted at Oven Town (48FR5928) in northeastern Fremont County, Wyoming. Two components (Components I and II) were identified at Oven Town. Component I consisted of five basins and localized stains in two excavation blocks and one isolated unit and eight features on the disturbed surface. Component I dates to the Middle Archaic Period based on 13 radiocarbon age estimates ranging from 4,330 ± 60 to 3,680 ± 40 years before present. Component II...
