Another Elk Petroglyph from the Gateway Site: Some Possible Functional Implications (2005)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
During a field trip in conjunction with the Fall 2006 meeting of the Wyoming Association of Professional Archaeologists (WAPA), the authors led a group to the Gateway petroglyphs (48LN348), which had been recorded two years before (Keyser and Poetschat 2005). During the site visit a combination of low-angled Fall sunlight (on September 16) and the attention of several experienced rock art researchers resulted in the recognition of a large elk figure, only parts of which (legs, antlers) had been...

Core and Peripheries: Chinese Communities in Southwestern Wyoming, 1869-1922 (2005)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Chinese immigrants began to arrive in large numbers in Wyoming Territory in 1869. Archaeological excavations from 1990 to the present are beginning to shed some light on how these immigrants structured their households and communities. We now have a clearer picture as to how scattered nineteenth century Chinese communities in southwestern Wyoming were linked together. The community ties that evolved benefited the immigrants in several ways. Here we will suggest that the household structures that...

Fracture Patterns of Bones in Archaeological Contexts: Significance of the Casper Site Materials (2005)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
In the study of Paleolithic flaked bone tools, the most important criteria are the quality of preservation and completeness when we are trying to elucidate details of fracture on cylindrical bones. There are virtually no examples which adequately satisfy these criteria. We must use specimens which are as close to the ideal conditions. The close-to-the-ideal conditions are: 1) the bones are from sites where hunting of large mammals was carried out; 2) the site is considered or close to...

Freshwater Mussel Identification and Analysis from the River Bend Site, 48NA202 (2005)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
The subject of freshwater mussels in Wyoming archaeology is of more importance than might first appear and seems not to have been recognized by students of Wyoming archaeology. A significant body of data exists concerning mussels’ biological description, ecology, and relationships as well as the archaeological identification and prehistoric cultural connections of mussels. The following draws on those data and applies it to an example of Wyoming’s archaeologically recovered mussels from the...
