Ice Patch Archaeology in the Teton Mountains
Since 2015, I have investigated 21 ice patches in the Teton Range, Wyoming and located one pre-contact and several post-contact artifacts. The pre-contact artifact is a modified whitebark pine stick that dates to 3158 to 2960 cal BP. The post-contact artifacts are one 1940s wallet, one carved Boy Sc...
