Archaeological Investigations at the MiniTrue Site (48UT1984) in the Green River Basin, Wyoming

Author(s): Richard Adams; Paul H. Sanders; Mark E. Miller

Summary

We summarize here results of a data recovery effort at the MiniTrue site, 48UT1984. Between 1998 and 2000, the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist conducted testing and excavation at the site on behalf of the Wyoming Department of Transportation. 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 1700 years ago and the youngest about 1200 years ago. Site integrity was adequate to allow interpretation of the function of each component in the Late Prehistoric settlement system.
