Late Prehistoric Life Along Laprele Creek: Evidence for Broad Spectrum Hunting and Gathering at 48CO2672 (2003)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
In the summer of 2001, Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (MAC) excavated a deeply buried campsite (48C02672) along LaPrele Creek in Converse County, Wyoming. Charcoal from two hearths produced conventional radiocarbon ages of 1200 ± 60 BP and 1100 ± 60 BP. The cultural level dates to the Late Prehistoric period (Frison 1991), and results suggest at least two and as many as four use episodes may be represented. During these use episodes, there appears to have been an emphasis on plant...

The Raid Lake Sheep massacre (2003)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Wyoming's wide open spaces and lush grasses attracted both cattle and sheep ranchers, but cattlemen assumed primacy since they arrived first. Federal law disagreed. Sheep raids had happened since the late 1890's, but reached a peak in 1902 with the Raid Lake sheep massacre in which an estimated 1000-2000 sheep were killed. The Raid Lake Sheep Massacre site has been well documented through the years with site revisits by the Forest Service in 1911, 1914, 1916, and the 1960's. Presented here are...

Symbolism and Ritualistic Uses of the Bison Skull Among the Plains Indians of North America (2003)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Archaeological data show acts which may at first appear to involve merely the acquisition of food are, indeed, interwoven with spiritual beliefs and emotions. Bison kill sites have been investigated to gain information regarding hunting strategies and food appropriation. However, some of the sites have yielded additional information taking us beyond the procurement of food, widening our view to include religion, rituals and ceremonialism. The Cooper site (Bement 1999) offers early evidence of...
