Excavations at the Carter site (48NA1425) on the Casper Arch in central coming produced a large, well-preserved ceramic assemblage, as well as large lithic and faunal assemblages. The ceramic assemblage can be characterized as thin, well made, grit-tempered, heavily micaceous, plain and fingernail-impressed sherds from possibly three wide-mouth jars. Similar material has not been reported in the region. The absence of any systematic classificatory scheme for ceramics in the area poses significant difficulties in trying to classify the Carter site ceramics within the two existing pottery traditions attributed to ethnic or tribal groups whose historic homelands are within the central Wyoming region. Instead, data suggest affinities with a third ceramic tradition, the Uncompahgre Brown Ware defined in the southern Rocky Mountains and northern Colorado Plateau
