Abstract
This chapter reviews the soil formations and possible paleoenvironmental interpretations the same at the Horner site in Park County, Wyoming. Buried and surface soils and soil stratigraphy of the Horner site were investigated during late June of 1978, when a section of the Alberta/Cody bison bone bed was excavated by archaeologists from the University of Wyoming under the direction of Dr. George C. Frison. The soils and soil stratigraphy were well-exposed along the south wall of the 1978 excavation and showed soils and sediments, and also disconformities and unconformities associated with the bone bed and younger overlying deposits. Soil morphology and soil stratigraphy have proved important in the interpretation of geomorphic evolution at the site as this relates to probable paleoclimatic trends.
