Obsidian Source Utilization at the Trappers Point Antelope Kill Site 48SU1006 (2002)
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy was used to study obsidian artifacts collected from the Trappers Point Site, a multicomponent Early Archaic pronghorn processing site, located west of Pinedale, Wyoming in Sublette County. The trace element concentrations for artifacts were compared to trace element concentrations from known sources. The majority (80%) of the identified materials were from the closest sources in Jackson Hole. The rest came from Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park and...
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.
Pecked Petroglyphs at the Gateway Site: The Uncompahgre Style In the Green River Basin (2014)
A recent discovery of Archaic period pecked petroglyphs at the Gateway site (48LN348) is the first occurrence of Uncompahgre style imagery in the northern Green River Basin.
