  • Variation of Early and Middle Holocene Earth Oven Technology in Wyoming and Implications for Forager Adaptations

    Open AccessCharles W Koenig, Craig S Smith et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2025Referencias: 38

    Earth oven baking pits are common occurrences within the Indigenous archaeological record of North America, yet archaeologists have paid minimal attention to evaluating how earth oven technology varies over the long term. The extensively sampled record of thermal features from Wyoming represents a unique opportunity to evaluate changes in earth oven technology through time and consider how earth ovens relate to other facets of Indigenous land use…

  • Folsom structures in the Wyoming Basin of southwest Wyoming

    Craig S Smith, Lance M Mcnees et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist2016Referencias: 9

    Folsom people are traditionally thought to be highly residentially mobile specialized bison hunters focused on the grasslands of the Great Plains. Recent research has begun to show greater variability in their land-use patterns and mobility in the mountains and intermountain basins of the Rocky Mountains. The excavation at site 48SW97 of the remains of two structures consisting of roughly circular arrangements of cobbles associated with Folsom po…

  • Persistent land use patterns and the mid-Holocene housepits of Wyoming

    Craig S Smith, Lance M Mcnees et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2011Citada por: 16Referencias: 6

    The cyclical use of sites and locales over decades, centuries, and even millennia is an important aspect of hunter-gatherer land use that is rarely considered in studies that focus on a single annual cycle. The long-term perspective provided by archaeological data can be used to delineate persistent land use patterns and contribute to an understanding of the complexity of hunter-gatherer behavior. Mid-Holocene Wyoming housepit data document persi…

  • Cymopterus bulbosus and Prehistoric Foragers

    Open AccessCraig S Smith, Lance M Mcnees et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2005

    Direct evidence for the use of geophytes in the archaeological record of prehistoric foragers is typically lacking, even though they were often an important resource. Cymopterus bulbosus (springparsley or biscuitroot) is a geophyte that grows in fairly dense patches in areas of high archaeological site densities in the Green River Basin of Wyoming. Analysis of the patch size and distribution, density within patches, root weight, nutritional conte…

  • Pronghorn and Bison Procurement During the Uinta Phase in Southwest Wyoming

    Craig S Smith, Lance M Mcnees et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist2000Citada por: 7Referencias: 9

    The dramatic bonebeds occasionally uncovered in southwest HYoming have strongly influenced perceptions of pronghorn procurement in the region during prehistoric times. However, they provide a misleading picture of the typical pattern of pronghorn procurement. Pronghorn bonebeds are generally rare and many may even represent a number of kill events. More typically, the prehistoric hunter-gatherers probably pursued and killed single pronghorn non-c…

  • Facilities and Hunter-Gatherer Long-Term Land Use Patterns

    Open AccessCraig S Smith, Lance M Mcnees et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1999Citada por: 35Referencias: 15

    To fully understand prehistoric land use patterns, we must define how prehistoric peoples used particular places on the landscape over longer periods of time. Factors influencing the multi-year use of particular places include human modifications to the landscape as a result of previous occupations. The construction of relatively elaborate and costly facilities for anticipated reuse is one type of modification associated with the repeated occupat…

  • Site Structure of Two Buried Stone Circle Sites, Southern Wyoming

    Craig S Smith, Lance M Mcnees et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1995Citada por: 6Referencias: 6

    Archaeological block excavations at sites 48SW71 07 and 48SW270 have provided an opportunity to examine the use of space within and adjacent to two buried stone circles dating to the early Late Prehistoric period and located at the northern and western edges of the Great Divide Basin in southern Wyoming. Examination of the spatial patterning of the archaeological remains at those sites reveals clues about site activities and function. The excavat…

  • Rattlesnake Pass Site

    Craig S Smith, Lance M Mcnees et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1990Citada por: 5Referencias: 3

    Block excavations at the Rattlesnake Pass site in south-central “Ujloming provided an excellent opportunity to learn more about a Folsom occupation at a small shorttenn site. Excavations revealed bison bones, two flake tools, and six flakes associated with a carbon stained and oxidized occupation surface. Radiocarbon ages of 9950 and 9770 years B.P. were obtained for the occupation. A broken Folsom point, which was probably displaced from the cul…
