Hell Gap dig underway again by UW archaeology
The G.C. Frison Institute and the Anthropology Department of the University of Wyoming in conjunction with the Wyoming Archaeological Foundation is conducting excavations at the Hell Gap archaeological site, northeast of Guernsey, Wyoming.
The Hell Gap Site is one of the best known Paleoindian archaeological sites in North America. First investigated in the 1960s by a team of archaeologists from the Harvard University and the University of Wyoming resulted in uncovering many 8,000-11,000 year old campsites in several locations along the Hell Gap valley. At that time the sequence of Paleoindian cultures was unknown and the Hell Gap site provided the data to establish this sequence.
