ECOLOGICAL APPROACH TO SETTLEMENT PATTERNS IN THE RED DESERT, SOUTH-CENTRAL WYOMING, UTILIZING DATA OBTAINED FROM THE WAMSUTTER BLOCK AREA SURVEY
- Date Issued:
- 1982
- Summary:
- The purpose of this research project is to determine if any correlation exists between ecological factors and the settlement patterns exhibited within Townships 18 and 19 North, Range 93 West, of the Wamsutter Block Area Survey, Carbon County, Wyoming. The Wamsutter project area, located in a region known as the Red Desert, lies mostly in the Great Divide Basin and extends slightly into the Washakie Basin of south-central Wyoming. The environmental effect on cultural adaptations may be reflected in the archaeological remains. Prior to the Wamsutter survey project, this area was the subject of several surveys by various institutions. The previous surveys were limited compared with the massive and intensive undertaking of this project. It is hoped that through this investigation the utility of the large data base generated by contract archaeology will be demonstrated.
