Site 48CO1409, Converse County, Wyoming, contains six stone circles/tipi rings with limited chipped-stone artifacts and a small dart point. The upland site is situated among eroded hills that provide the necessary materials for tipi ring construction along the South Fork Dry Fork Cheyenne River (dry) (John Greer, personal communication June 15, 2015). Core 4, Ring 1, demonstrated a buried charcoal/ash layer at 10–14 cmbs. A sample recovered from this cored layer was submitted for macrofloral...

Site 48SW7095 is a short-term prehistoric camp located along raised sandy deposits overlooking Laundry Draw in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Occupational evidence is visible on the surface, although silty deposits on the lower drainage terraces contain some buried cultural materials (John Greer, personal communication June 15, 2015). Ashy fill from cores into the center of two hearths were submitted for macrofloral analysis and AMS radiocarbon age determination. Samples are expected to range from...

Site 48CO3688 lies on the crest of a broad ridge in Converse County, Wyoming. A surface hearth contained fire-affected rock and one flake. No tools or diagnostic artifacts were associated with this site (John Greer, personal communication July 23, 2015). Feature fill from soil probes was submitted for macrofloral and AMS radiocarbon analysis to ascertain the period of occupation. Charcoal from this locality is expected to date between 2500 and 800 BP (John Greer, personal communication July 23,...

Site 48CO3689 is situated on an escarpment rim of a broad ridge approximately three miles northeast of North Platte River, Converse County, Wyoming. A cluster of burned rocks on the surface identified an unlined hearth that lacked any diagnostic artifacts. Subsurface core testing indicated intact ash-stained sediment submitted for macrofloral analysis and subsequent AMS radiocarbon age determination. Nearby sites, also situated on this ridge crest, indicate occupation as early as the Middle...

Site 7594-1 lies on the crest of a high and narrow ridge 12.2 miles north of Glenrock, in Converse County, east-central Wyoming. Diagnostic artifacts recovered at this lithic scatter indicate Late Archaic (~ 500 BC to AD 1000) occupation (John Greer, personal communication May 5, 2015). Ash fill from the soil probes across the middle of a hearth was submitted for macrofloral analysis and AMS radiocarbon age determination.

The small prehistoric Site 48CO3613, located in Converse County, Wyoming, is a lithic scatter with a surface-exposed open hearth feature. A small projectile point, recovered among the scattered flakes and tools, is believed to be a Late Archaic dart point from approximately 2000 BP (John Greer, personal communication November 16, 2014). Charcoal/ash-rich feature fill was collected from the hearth and submitted for macrofloral analysis and AMS radiocarbon dating.

Site 48CO3625 represents an isolated hearth located in Converse County, Wyoming. The feature, exposed in the middle of a road, was sampled for macrofloral analysis and AMS radiocarbon dating. No artifacts were directly associated with the site; however, lithics were recovered within approximately 50 m of the hearth. The date is expected to fall within the Late Archaic or early Late Prehistoric Period, about 2000 years BP (John Greer, personal communication November 15, 2014).

Site 48CO3629 is a large single-component prehistoric campsite located in Converse County, Wyoming. Numerous artifacts, including diagnostic arrow points and projectile points, several features, and temporary surface habitation structures are believed to reflect a single occupation event dating somewhere around AD 500–1000 (John Greer, personal communication November 16, 2014). Fill from an open hearth feature associated with a cluster of hearths was submitted for macrofloral analysis and AMS...

Site 48CO3669 (Project locality 7614-1) represents a hearth located about 44 miles north of Douglas in Converse County, Wyoming. Four non-diagnostic lithics also were recovered at this locality. Soil from two 1 inch diameter cores, collected from a hearth feature, was submitted to recover charcoal suitable for AMS radiocarbon dating. Charcoal from this locality is expected to date between 5000 and 500 years BP (John Greer, personal communication March 31, 2015). Additional feature fill was...
