Author(s): David Eckles; David Reiss

Summary
Site 48AB396 was located in 1982 during a class III cultural resource survey of the Rob Roy Reservoir project in Albany County, Wyoming (Eckles and Scott 1983). The site is located on the eastern side of Douglas Creek at 9240 ft in the Snowy Range Mountains of southeastern Wyoming. Archaeological excavations (Figure 1) were conducted at the site in 1983 by the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist (Reiss 1985). Seventy one meter square units were excavated with three sediment horizons being identified. From 0-36 centimeters below surface (cmbs), a brown clay loam was encountered. From 36 to 43 cmbs, a yellowish brown clay loam was found and from 43-70 cmbs, a yellow clay loam with abundant gravel was found. Cultural materials were found in the two upper horizons, from 0-43 cmbs. No cultural remains were recovered below 43 cmbs. Evidence of bioturbation in the form of animal burrowing was noted throughout the upper and middle sediment horizons (Reiss 1985:46).
