A well-preserved, deeply stratified site in eastern Wyoming, USA, with evidence of occupation from cl2,000 to 8000 bc ie. throughout the Paleo-Indian period. Although cultural material was relatively sparse, the site’s great time depth marks it as significant, especially as it relates to Llano culture sequences.
