Archaeological Excavation at the Confluence Housepit Site (48NA4588) (2014)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
The archaeological excavation at the Confluence Housepit site yielded a single housepit feature, two associated subfloor thermal basins internal to the housepit substructure, one thermal basin exterior to the housepit substructure, and associated artifacts. The deposit is dated to the Opal phase of the Early Archaic period through four conventional radiocarbon age estimates ranging between 5000 ± 40 and 5390 ± 40 years B.P. The housepit, associated features, and cultural materials are viewed as...

Archaeological Excavation at the Ferris dune Site (48CR310) (2014)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Archaeological excavations at the Ferris Dune site (48CR310) yielded two buried cultural components. Component 1 dated to the Late Prehistoric Uinta phase (950 ± 30 years B.P.), and Component 2 dated to the Late Archaic Deadman Wash phase (1920 ± 30 years B.P.). Component 1 represents a relatively well preserved hunting camp where at least two bison were processed, while the cultural materials associated with Component 2 were appreciably more ephemeral and representative of a nondescript short...

Archaeological Excavation at the Pathfinder Ranch Site (48CR332): A Stratified Multicomponent Site Located Near the Ferris Mountains of Central Wyoming (2014)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
The excavated cultural deposit at the Pathfinder Ranch site (48CR332) yielded five cultural components dating to the Uinta phase of the Late Prehistoric (Component 1), the Deadman Wash phase of the Late Archaic (Components 1-2), and the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic (Components 3-5). The cultural materials recovered from the five components suggests the occupations represent temporally punctuated short-term hunter-gatherer camps likely characterized by large mammal faunal resource...

Pecked Petroglyphs at the Gateway Site: The Uncompahgre Style In the Green River Basin (2014)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
A recent discovery of Archaic period pecked petroglyphs at the Gateway site (48LN348) is the first occurrence of Uncompahgre style imagery in the northern Green River Basin. Badly impacted by superimposed Late Prehistoric period incised petroglyphs, the Uncompahgre style images are a panel of abstract lines and circular forms whose overall form is similar to other Uncompahgre style petroglyphs at a site further south along the Green River. We document these newly discovered Gateway site...

Spoils of War: Petroglyphs of Captured Women at Red Canyon, 48FR2508 (2014)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Two warrior artists documented coups at the Red Canyon site by illustrating capture hands reaching out to take enemy women. The capture of these women has an obvious sexual symbolism, with the capture hands reaching out toward the vulva in one instance and the breast in the other. This symbolism is identical to that which occurs at other Northwestern Plains rock art sites scattered from Writing-On-Stone, Alberta to Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin (Greer and Keyser 2008:95, 98; Keyser and Poetschat...
