The Upper Green River
Basin Chapter of the Wyoming Archeology
Society will meet Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 6:30
p.m. at the Museum of the Mountain Man in
Pinedale. There will be a short business meeting
followed by a presentation by Bob Kelly.
Kelly will speak on “Ice Patch Archaeology
in the Rocky Mountains.”
In the past 20 years, archaeologists around
the world have discovered ice patches to be a
valuable source of archaeological and paleoenvironmental
information. Kelly will describe
recent research by himself and colleagues in the
Rocky Mountains that helps us understand how
and why high elevations were used in the past.
Kelly has been doing archaeology for the past
45 years in the western United States – the last
20 in Wyoming. A past president of the Society
for American Archaeology, he just completed a
term as editor of the Society’s flagship journal,
American Antiquity. He just completed excavation
of a rockshelter near Medicine Lodge,
on Paint Rock Creek, has worked on the Pine
Spring site in southwestern Wyoming, and surveyed
ice patches for archaeology in the Winds,
Absarokas and Glacier National Park
