Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brief update is given concerning our research into the distribution of obsidian from the three apparently most important sources in, or adjacent to, northwestern Wyoming. These include Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park and Teton Pass in southern Jackson Hole. The specific location of the third source, the F.M.Y. or 90 Group, obsidian from which was identified on archaeological sites over 15 years ago, is still unknown. The distribution data from archaeological sites suggest that the F.M.Y. (90 Goup) source itself is not located in Yellowstone National Park as was originally hypothesized; nor is it in Jackson Hole. We currently believe that it may be found somewhere in the arc west to north of Yellowstone National Park. The paper concludes with a request for samples from possible sources so that we might pinpoint the exact F.M.Y. (90 Group) location.

Book excerpt: In 2009/2010 the Montana Yellowstone Archaeological Project (MYAP) conducted survey of the Crescent Hill chert outcrop (site 48YE729) in the northern portion of Yellowstone National Park. Occurring in a variety of colors and qualities, the chert precipitated within the Eocene-era Crescent Hill basalt formation. The procurement area encompasses 2,124.8 acres, with nine surface outcrops, five of which were clearly utilized by Native Americans during prehistory. With the materials previously being uncharacterized, hand samples representative of the outcrop areas were collected and analyzed using macroscopic, petrographic, and geochemical techniques. In doing this, the provenance of artifacts found in archaeological assemblages can be traced back to their original source outcrop area. Results show that the material is highly variable in appearance and elementally scattered, making it hard to differentiate Crescent Hill from other regional cherts. However, detailed macroscopic analysis provides an avenue for artifacts to be matched to hand samples from the source area. In doing this, elucidations regarding hunter-gatherer lithic technological organization and land-use can be made. Two archaeological sites in the lowest and driest portion of Yellowstone National Park, the Yellowstone Bank Cache Site (24YE355) and the Airport Rings Site (24YE357), show a heavy reliance on Crescent Hill chert (CHC). At both sites, CHC represents the second most abundant raw material type found in archaeological assemblages, next to Obsidian Cliff obsidian. Lithic raw materials from both source areas within well-dated hearth contexts indicate a temporal change in use of the materials from the Late Archaic to the Late Prehistoric periods, likely due to changes in human use of the landscape. Additionally, utilization of the two materials shows that prehistoric hunter-gatherers may have favored an embedded approach in obtaining materials from Crescent Hill, as opposed to Obsidian Cliff, representing a highly homogeneous isotropic source using a more direct approach of procurement. An examination of variables, including quality, abundance, distribution, and mode of occurrence of lithic raw material on the landscape were used to evaluate each procurement area. As reflected in a gravity model (Wilson 2007), Obsidian Cliff is superior in geological quality and ubiquitously found across the landscape in cultural contexts, making it the more desirable of the two sources.
