Prehistoric Native American culture
The Hell Gap complex is a Plano culture from 10,060 to 9,600 before present.[nb 1] It is named after the Hell Gap archaeological site, in Goshen County, Wyoming.
Other Hell Gap complex sites
[edit]
In addition to the Hell Gap archaeological site, other Wyoming archaeological sites include the Sister's Hill site in northeastern Wyoming and a bison kill site near Casper, Wyoming.[1] Jones-Miller Bison Kill Site is the only Hell Gap complex site in Colorado.[2]
The Hell Gap projectile points are long stemmed, convex blades.[2]
Notes
- ^ James Gunnerson reports dates from 7,500 BCE to 8,890 BCE, depending upon the site and archaeologist, which would be in roughly the same, but a longer, time period.[1]
