Extract

The area around Cody in northwestern Wyoming is extremely rich in archaeological sites. One of these, the Horner or Sage Creek site, is now well known as the locus of the Cody complex, a varied group of “Yuma” implements dated about 5000 B.C. (Wormington 1957: 127-8). Extensive tipi-ring sites have been found on the tributaries of the South Fork of the Shoshone River and in other locations near Cody. These so-called tipi rings are perhaps related to those of the Boysen Reservoir in west central Wyoming (Mulloy 1954a). There are also indications of hunting camps of the Crow, Shoshone, and Ogalalla Sioux whose trails met here in protohistoric and early historic times.
