    DOCUMENT Full-Text Richard Adams. Paul H. Sanders. Mark E. Miller.

    We summarize here results of a data recovery effort at the MiniTrue site, 48UT1984.

MiniTrue is a Uinta Phase pronghorn processing locale in the Green River Basin, Uinta County, Wyoming. Two components were identified, both being short-term, task specific activity areas. Radiocarbon dates establish the oldest component at about...

  • Excavations at 48CR103 Near Savery Creek, Carbon County, Wyoming (2012)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text James Gillentine. Dee Ann Espinoza.

    Data recovery excavations were conducted at 48CR103 in southern Carbon County, Wyoming. A single component was identified consisting of at least three features. Soil profiles from these excavations indicated a deflated dunal setting which experienced a high degree of erosion from extensive livestock grazing and extended drought conditions. While no radiometric datable material was recovered, lithic tools suggest a Middle to Late Plains Archaic Period of occupation. Artifacts and features show...
