Home and Homeland in the Land Beyond the Mountains
Permanent Euroamerican settlement did not occur in the western Plains until after a long period of cultural entanglement between Native residents and newcomers. This study focuses on the unique contributions of the Crow (or Apsáalooke) Indians in northwestern Wyoming. Because of modern political and disciplinary boundaries, the region’s history is often severed in two, with the native story ending as the settler story begins. Discussions of cross…
Writing histories at Êngkahonovita Ogwêvi
In Red Canyon, in the foothills of the Wyoming Rocky Mountains, lie three archaeological sites: a stagecoach station, a tipi ring campsite and a series of faded petroglyphs. Collectively, these three sites offer the opportunity to bridge the divide between the prehistoric and the historic, and to explore multiple forms of cultural entanglement in the American West. This article challenges the scholarly homogenisation of cultural diversity in this…
Compositional analysis of Intermountain Ware pottery manufacturing areas in western Wyoming, USA
Obsidian Source Use in the Greater Yellowstone Area, Wyoming Basin, and Central Rocky Mountains
Using x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis from nearly 2,300 sourced obsidian artifacts in western Wyoming, southwestern Montana, and eastern Idaho, we demonstrate regional diachronic changes in access to and preference for particular obsidian sources throughout the West. We focus on both (I) long-term patterns of obsidian use that may inform us about the timing of precontact migrations of Numic (Shoshone) speakers into the Rocky Mountains and (2) t…
Across a great divide
Archaeological research is uniquely positioned to show how native history and native culture affected the course of colonial interaction, but to do so it must transcend colonialist ideas about Native American technological and social change. This book applies that insight to five hundred years of native history. Using data from a wide variety of geographical, temporal, and cultural settings, the contributors examine economic, social, and politica…
Domestic campsites and cyber landscapes in the Rocky Mountains
The dwellings of prehistoric Native North Americans are amongst the hardest archaeological structures to find and characterise - they leave only a shallow ring of stones. But the authors show that, when recorded to modern levels of precision, these tipi-stances contain a wealth of information. The stone rings are mapped in detail by hand, and located by GPS, their hearths are located by fluxgate survey and sampled for radiocarbon dating, and the …

Bison Economies on the Late Prehistoric North American High Plains
This paper explores variability in Late Prehistoric bison faunal assemblages from sites in western Kansas, NE Colorado, and central Nebraska (A.D. 1000–1350). Relationships among occupants of these sites have been a topic of debate for decades, and archaeologists have typically relied on ceramic typologies as a means of separating people, places, and phases. The resulting segregation of sites from different river drainages, however; makes it diff…
The Donovan Site (5LO204)
The Donovan site (5LO204) is a Late Prehistoric animal processing campsite located in northeastern Colorado. The site has been extensively excavated by the University of Wyoming High Plains Archaeology Project since 1992. Containing at least 11 stratified occupation surfaces dating between about A.D. 1000 and 1300, Donovan represents a frequently visited western expansion of the Upper Republican phase of the Central Plains tradition. Material cul…

A Probable Early Nineteenth Century Crow Burial
Artifacts from the Pitchfork burial (48PA42) of northwestem Wyoming unequivocally date to ca. 1810, rather than previously published estimates of either protohistoric, early historic, or ca. 1880. This new information is important for purposes of eliminating certain tribal affiliations and for strengthening existing hypotheses pertaining to the burial that the individuals were probably Crow
