Abstract
Block excavations at the Sinclair site yielded the remains of a housepit and exterior features with radiocarbon age estimates of 5770 and 5540 years ago. The housepit is a shallow, unprepared basin that is approximately 5.6 m in diameter. It has five interior pits with oxidized sides, a posthole, a fire-affected rock concentration, and an alignment of sandstone rocks. The examination of site structure indicates that the excavated portion of the site contains two domestic work areas; one within the housepit and another outside. The site probably represents a short-term residential camp of foragers occupied during the late summer and fall. Comparisons with other Early Archaic period housepit sites in Wyoming suggest that these sites may be divided into two groups which may represent different seasons of occupation.
