  • The Hilight Petroglyph Boulder, Historic Period Rock Art in Northeastern Wyoming (2001)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Dr. Mavis Greer. John W. Greer.

    A small petroglyph boulder is in the open prairie country of northeastern Wyoming. On the upper flat surface are incised dim lines appearing to interact with an alignment of three animal tracks. The rock is believed to relate to a Late Prehistoric or early Historic Period of Native American rock art iil the Powder River Basin.

  • Historic Japanese Sites of Southwestern Wyoming Revised and Revisited: Japanese Rock Art and Tombstones: Immigration Patterns on the Northern Plains and in the Rocky Mountains (2001)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text A. Dudley Gardner. David E. Johnson.

    Between 1891 and 1899 Japanese immigrants began to arrive in Alberta, Montana, and Wyoming. Little is provided in the historic documentation about where these immigrants came from in Japan. The archaeological record, however, provides reliable information about the origins of these "sojourners." Using Japanese tombstones, rock art, and inscriptions on stone we have been able to piece together where the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century Japanese immigrants came from within...

  • Hunter-Gatherer Canid Petroglyphs in the Wind River and Bighorn Basins of Wyoming (2001)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text James J. Stewart.

    Big game, large bird, and canid (dog/wolf/coyote) figures are the most obvious zoomorph petroglyph motifs in the Bighorn and Wind River Basins. Canid petroglyph motifs, with many apparently dating 2000-6000 B.P., or possibly older, tend to prevail in specific areas of the southern Bighorn and northeastern Wind River Basins. The geographic distribution of these canid motifs appears to be more than coincidental. Examination of known/recorded Wind River and Bighorn Basin canid motif petroglyph...

  • Lithic Materials and Fort Bridger (2001)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text A. Dudley Gardner. Martin Lammers.

    Beginning in 1983, an ambitious research project was initiated at Fort Bridger. From 1983 to 1989, test excavations and archival research identified the possibility Bridger's Trading Post underlay the enlisted men's barracks constructed in 1888 at the Fort. As a result of the test excavations, a team of archaeologists from Western Wyoming College initiated a long-term research project beginning in 1990. The excavations led by this team focused on the area south of the enlisted men's barracks,...

  • New Information from the Reanalyses of a Frontier Burial from Fort Caspar, Wyoming (2001)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Rick Weathermon.

    Reexamination of the Fort Caspar Burial #3 collection, including a nearly complete human skeleton and associated artifacts, has provided additional information regarding the life and death of this early frontier white male. Subsequent analyses indicate the individual was younger than originally estimated and had been buried in a coffin constructed of painted wood and fittings from a wagon. Reevaluation of the skeletal trauma strongly suggests the cause of death was a result of bludgeoning rather...

  • The SA Petroglyphs, Historic Period Rock Art in Northeastern Wyoming (2001)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Dr. Mavis Greer. John W. Greer.

    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...
