Clovis Testing at the Hell Gap Baars Locality: 2003-2004

Summary

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 (14G41-15 and 14F40-10). In addition to testing, auger probes were placed to identify the extent of the Goshen paleosol, artifacts eroding from the arroyo were mapped, and the local topography was mapped (Figure 4).
