-October 12, 2011: Our guest speaker will be Mr. Dan Bach. The title of his talk will be "Year 2010 Excavations at the Raven’s Nest Site (48SU3871) located near Pinedale, Wyoming." Preliminary analysis suggests this seasonally occupied site is Protohistoric and Late Prehistoric and was occupied by both Shoshone and Ute Native Americans. Artifacts recovered included dozens of arrowheads, scrapers, drills, both Shoshone and Uncompaghre pottery along with buffalo and rabbit size burned bones."
Mr. Dan Bach, RPA earned in B.A. from the University of Northern Colorado in 1993 with an interdisciplinary degree combining both botany and Archaeology. He later attended the University of Wyoming and received his M.A. Degree in Archaeology in 1997. The title of his thesis is "Interpreting the Cultural significance of Charred and Unburned Seeds Recovered from Prehistoric Hearths and Living Floors: Theory, Method and Implications. In 1998 Mr. Bach opened his own macrofloral business. In 2009 Dan agreed to help restart the Cheyenne Chapter of the Wyoming Archaeological Society and accepted the position of Vice President/Secretary which in 2011 he accepted the position of President/Secretary.
“Year 2010 Excavations at the Raven’s Nest Site located near Pinedale, Wyoming.” Preliminary analysis suggests this seasonally occupied site is several hundred (Protohistoric) to a thousand years old (Late Prehistoric) and was occupied by both Shoshone and Ute Native Americans. Artifacts recovered included dozens of arrowheads, scrapers, drills, both Shoshone and Uncompaghre pottery along with buffalo and rabbit size burned bones."
This talk really is a time line of my field work from last year and includes several additional slides on OTI's, MOT's and some random hearth salvage pictures. The Raven's Nest site is a really neat.
OR, you have my talk on burial which I pretty much just summarize what Gill has published over the years in addition to several burials that I have worked on. The title for this talk is:
"A Review of the Prehistoric Skeletal Record of Wyoming." Dan Bach, Cheyenne archaeologist, will review the prehistoric skeletal record of Wyoming. Topics will include dental health and diet, prehistoric homicides and warfare, accidental deaths, and, burial mounds and how burial practices change over time.
Your choice just let me know which one sounds more interesting and Oct. 12 works for me.
FYI,
Don't know if you need my bio or not but if you do here it is...
