Not in warfare alone: Conical timber lodges in the Central Rocky Mountains and Northwestern Plains
Conical timber lodges are a well known but little investigated archaeological feature of the Central Rocky Mountains and Northwestern Plains. These perishable wood structures are commonly regarded as war lodges or short-term shelters built by Plains Indian groups during the Protohistoric and Historic periods. Archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic data show that this interpretation is too narrow. Conical timber lodges served a diversit…
Radiocarbon analyses of four perishable artifacts from Ghost and Pictograph caves, Montana
Pictograph and Ghost caves in Empty Gulch, Montana, yielded an extensive collection of perishable items during Works Progress Administration excavations in the late 1930s. Recent radiocarbon analyses of four perishable artifacts from both caves yielded Late Prehistoric period dates. The dated coiled basketry from Ghost Cave indicates either direct or intermediary trade with Northeastern Great Basin or Fremont groups or an ancient and widespread b…
AMS Dates from Four Late Prehistoric Period Rock Art Sites in West Central Montana
In 2002, eight pigment samples were collected from three rock art sites in the Big Belt Mountains of west central Montana. Samples from Hellgate Gulch (24BW9), Avalanche Mouth (24BW19), and the Gates of the Mountains (24LC27) were dated using plasma-chemical extraction and accelerator mass spectrometry. The dates were statistically indistinguishable with ages of 11701 ± 45, 1225 ± 50, and 1280 1 ± 50 B.P. When calibrated, these ages range from 65…
McKean Complex Projectile Point Typology and Function in the Pine Parklands
McKean complex projectile point typology has been of keen interest to Plains archaeologists since the early 1950s. This article examines the typological and functional relationships of McKean complex points from the Lightning Spring, McKean, Red Fox and Scoggin sites in the Pine Parklands area of the northwestern Plains. Techno-morphological study of these assemblages demonstrates that Duncan and Hanna are a single form, while the McKean Lanceola…
The Pass Creek Wickiups: Northern Shoshone Hunting Lodges in Southwestern Montana
The Pass Creek site is composed of two conical timbered lodges located in the Bitterroot Mountains of southwestern Montana. Construction techniques and geographic location indicate the lodges were built by a band of Northern “Lemhi” Shoshone Indians. This conclusion is corroborated by an informant who witnessed the lodges in use at the turn of the century. The Pa$S Creek wickiups apparently reflect both the persistence of ancient aboriginal subsi…
Ceramics From the Highwalker Site: A Study of Late Prehistoric Period Cultural Systematics on the Northwestern Plains
The Highwalker site is a two component prehistoric encampment located in the Pine Parklands region of southeastern Montana. The Late Prehistoric period occupation represents a briefly used, special purpose site occupied by a Native American group primarily engaged in the final butchering of bison and the processing of its by-products. Two radiocarbon samples date the Late Prehistoric period occupation between A.D. 1000 and A.D. 1100. Ceramics rec…
Wickiup Cave
Wickiup Cave, site 24BE601, is located in the Tendoy Mountains of southwestern Montana. The site consists of a log, brush, and rock wickiup built in a huge limestone cave. The wickiupand numerous artifacts found in the cave are attributed to historic Tukudika Shoshone occupation
