A Metal Knife from the Hog Park Area, Carbon County, Wyoming

Author(s): Mark E. Miller; James Buff

Year: 2008

Summary

The Hog Park knife joins a growing list of interesting artifacts from Wyoming that defy precise chronological or cultural identification. Isolated artifacts like these are important to our understanding of human adaptations in the area, but their lack of context and association with other objects makes it difficult for identification. Nonetheless, this piece needed to be described in case similar finds are known, and more detailed knowledge of their form and function is available.
