Proper collections management is crucial to archaeology. Recent trends in conservation archaeology recognize the nonrenewable nature of archaeological sites and highlight the research potential of existing archaeological collections.
Archaeological Survey of Laughlin Air Force Base, Val Verde County, Texas (1996)
During the spring of 1994, the Center for Archaeological Research of The University of Texas at San Antonio conducted a 100-percent pedestrian survey of Laughlin Air Force Base and the Air Force Recreation Area and Marina in Val Verde County, Texas. In addition to the survey, limited paleontological and geomorphological evaluations were made. One historic site, eight prehistoric sites, and one large site with both prehistoric and historic components were recorded. Additionally, three...
Archeological Data Recovery Excavations at 41CR56, 41CR61 and 41CR64 in Crane County, Texas
Working on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), archeologists from AmaTerra Environmental, Inc. completed phased data recovery excavations of the three sites. Work was conducted in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) and the Antiquities Code of Texas (13 TAC 16) between 2018 and 2019 when the sites were proposed to be impacted by the expansion of the US 385 roadway. 41CR56 fieldwork...

The Bozovich Family Archaeological Collection (1996)
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;...
A Brief Description of Helen Lookingbill's Southern Sublette County Collection (2000)
The Southern Sublette collection represents an array of characteristics within the Scottsbluff and Eden styles of the Cody Complex. There is also clear evidence of individual knapping styles within the identified cultural styles which can be attributed to the idiosyncratic behavior and technological constraints of the flint knapper and that person’s own level of expertise and choice of material. Because of the surface nature of each individual artifact found, lack of geologic context or...
Chipped Stone Artifacts (2007)
Implement making is a definite human characteristic. Since the beginning, primitive man made and used artifacts. Some were fashioned for tools; others for weapons; still others were made for ornamental and ceremonial purposes. One of the major tasks of an archaeologist is the collection and classification of these artifacts.
Clovis Testing at the Hell Gap Baars Locality: 2003-2004 (2004)
During the 2003 University of Wyoming field season (Lamberson et al. 2003), auger probes placed at the Baars Locality verified the buried paleosol extended northwest of the arroyo (Figure 3). Two one-by-one meter test units were established at the Baars Locality (14F42-18 and 14F38-24). Work on unit 14F42-18 was finished the 2003 summer while 14F38-24 was only partially excavated. In the spring of 2004, a small crew spent two days finishing 14F38-24, and also excavated two other test units...
The Crazy Woman Cody Site, Johnson County, Northeastern Wyoming (2002)
A Scottsbluff point was recently found in an upland area on a sand-covered slope next to an intermittent drainage. No additional materials were noted on the surface, but there is a potential for buried cultural deposits of interest to Paleoindian studies.
The Crooks Gap Housepit Site and Other Nearby Mid-Holocene Housepits (2012)
This article summarizes excavation results at the Crooks Gap Housepit site (Site 48FR6260) completed by Cardno ENTRIX in 2010 and then compares those results with 20 other excavated housepits at eight sites located within 20 km of the site (Figure 1). The results are provided in more detail in Peterson and Smith (2012). The Crooks Gap Housepit site is a multicomponent site situated in aeolian deposits near Crooks Creek in southeastern Fremont County, Wyoming. One of the components contains the...
Data Recovery and Mapping in the Finley Site Area, 1987 (2009)
During the fall of 1987, an archaeological crew from the University of Wyoming and Wyoming State Archaeologist’s Office conducted salvage recovery at a vandalized bonebed locality near the original Finley (48SW5) Paleoindian site in Sweetwater County. Efforts focused (1) on obtaining a bison skeletal sample disturbed earlier, (2) on documenting the site area for the Wyoming SHPO Cultural Records, and (3) on a small testing program to investigate whether intact Cody age archaeological deposits...

Dust Cave Site, AL (1LU496) Project
Faunal data from Dust Cave Alabama, Renee B. Walker dissertation (University of Tennessee, 1998). Archaic deposits from Dust Cave date between and 5,200 years ago with four distinct Archaic occupations. These include the Early Side-Notched and Kirk Stemmed components (Early Archaic), and the Eva/Morrow Mountain component and Seven Mile Island phase (Middle Archaic). The preservation, and subsequent recovery, of faunal material at the site is exceptional, with an abundance of small fish and...

Hunter-Gatherer Mobility from the Early Archaic to the Late Prehistoric Period: Investigations at the Hogsback Site (48UT2516), a Housepit Site in Southwestern Wyoming (2007)
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...
IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARCOAL FROM THE GENEVIEVE LYKES DUNCAN SITE, 41BS2615, ON THE 02 RANCH, TEXAS: DATA RECOVERY PHASE (2013)
Initial excavations at the Genevieve Lykes Duncan Site (41BS2615) on the 02 Ranch, approximately 25 miles south of Alpine in Brewster County, Texas, identified it as a buried, open campsite with three locales. Two charcoal samples, collected between and around the rocks of a buried hearth (Feature 18) and a buried thermal feature (2) at the Broadway Locale were submitted for identification. In addition, charcoal from Feature 18 was selected for AMS radiocarbon age determination. Although this...

NRHP Eligibility Evaluation of Four Sites on the Lead-in-Lines to Oscura Range and 12 Sites in Oscura Range, White Sands Missile Range, Lincoln County, NM (2016)
Between July 10 and 19 of 2015, archaeologists with Versar, Inc., conducted National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) evaluations at 16 sites on Oscura Range, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), Lincoln County, New Mexico. This project was conducted under contract to Weston Solutions, Inc. on behalf of the Air Education and Training Command (AFCEC), Holloman Air Force Base (HAFB), and White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). All of the sites are located within or in the vicinity of the Oscura Bombing...
Obsidian Utilization in Prehistoric Jackson Hole (1995)
We used X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy to identify nine obsidian sources used by the prehistoric inhabitants of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This paper examines this prehistoric use of obsidian and obsidian sources. Variation in utilization patterns is suggested through study of temporally diagnostic obsidian artifacts. The diachronic pattern of sources used allows consideration of the influences in acquisition, distribution, and use of obsidian.
