"Bear Coming Out": A Distinctive Plains Shield Motif (2004)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Bear Gulch, an extensive rock art site in central Montana, has several examples of a distinctive shield design showing a bear emerging from its den. This design is known from both ethnographic shields and other rock art images across the Northwestern Plains, including two shields at the Castle Gardens site in Wyoming and one from Montana’s Valley of the Shields site. The comparison of the designs from Bear Gulch with others from both ethnographic sources and other rock art sites illustrates part...

Clovis Testing at the Hell Gap Baars Locality: 2003-2004 (2004)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
During the 2003 University of Wyoming field season (Lamberson et al. 2003), auger probes placed at the Baars Locality verified the buried paleosol extended northwest of the arroyo (Figure 3). Two one-by-one meter test units were established at the Baars Locality (14F42-18 and 14F38-24). Work on unit 14F42-18 was finished the 2003 summer while 14F38-24 was only partially excavated. In the spring of 2004, a small crew spent two days finishing 14F38-24, and also excavated two other test units...

Differentiating Human and Non-Human Impacts on Leporid Remains: A Comparison of Rabbit Bone Cave (48PA202) and Wolf Den Cave (48BH1796) Faunal Assemblages (2004)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
The goal of this paper is to add to the shallow base of data on taphonomic processes affecting small mammal remains in archaeological contexts. To that end, faunal assemblages from two sites, the Rabbit Bone Cave, and the Wolf Den Cave will be compared. For the purpose of this project, only leporid remains will be compared. Both Lepus sp. and Sylvilagus sp. remains will be analyzed in this project. The comparisons made in this paper represent an attempt to differentiate between assemblages of...

A Late Prehistoric Bison Jump (48CK1281) Crook County, Wyoming (2004)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
During the spring of 1995, the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist located an area containing bison (Bison bison) bone and chipped stone artifacts eroding from several locations in a colluvial deposit at the base of a high ridge (Figures 1-3). This site was found during a class III survey for a Wyoming Department of Transportation borrow area, which was subsequently not developed. It is on federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management, Newcastle Field Office.

DOCUMENT Full-Text

Women and Children in the Evanston Chinatown (2004)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
In the later part of the nineteenth century, Chinese communities in the northern Rocky Mountains and Plains could be characterized by one basic generalization: few Chinese women and children lived in these communities. Alberta, Canada, in 1891, had one Chinese woman living in the Province and by 1901, when the next census was taken; she had moved away (Alberta Census 1891, 1901). More typical of the interior west were places like Silver Bow County, Montana, or Rock Springs, Wyoming, where one or...
