Wyoming Archaeological Society

The Wyoming Archaeologist is a publication of the Wyoming Archaeological Society, a non-profit organization founded to preserve archaeological resources, disseminate archaeological information, and promote archaeological research in Wyoming. The Wyoming Archaeologist has been published continuously since 1958, when its original incarnation “The Smoke Signal” was published in March of that year. Since then, the Wyoming Archaeologist has published over 200 issues and continues to do so today.

This collection is comprised of technical reports, research articles, book reviews, business of the Wyoming Archaeological Society, and other foundational knowledge regarding Wyoming archaeology published in the Wyoming Archaeologist. We have parsed the journal into individual content items for referencing and ease of dissemination. When complete, the collection will be comprised of over 1,000 individual files updated biannually as new issues are published. Contributions to the Wyoming Archaeologist are diverse, ranging from student papers about Wyoming bar graffiti to classic monographs regarding Wyoming archaeology by well known scholars.

We have tagged this collection with keywords to facilitate ease of research. From this page, you can search for publications by age, site type, material culture, and other fields to help guide your research toward relevant articles. We hope that this new digital format for the Wyoming Archaeologist will increase access to the journal and facilitate the dissemination of research regarding Wyoming’s human past.

This collection was created with support from the State Historical Records Advisory Board.
