“High Altitude Archeology in the Mountains of Wyoming”

 Matt Stirn from the R Lazy S Ranch, now with the Institute of Archaeology in Sheffield, England, led off the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum’s Voices of the Valley winter programs on January 3, 2013 with a presentation on high elevation archaeology in the mountains of Wyoming. Starting with the research done in the 1970s and 1980s in Jackson Hole, Stirn moved to the extraordinary recent discoveries in the Wind River Mountains that have radically redefined the ways in which we now look at how prehistoric people lived in alpine and sub alpine zones — this research, done over the last ten years, points the way for what could well be in store for the Tetons.

Archeologist Matt Stirn Returns Due to Popular Demand

The Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum once again hosted Matt Stirn’s Voices of the Valley presentation on high elevation archaeology in the mountains of Wyoming at the history museum on Wednesday, January 23 at 7:00 p.m. “We were delighted with the exceptional turnout for Matt’s program on January 3, and were disappointed we weren’t in a position to accommodate everyone who showed up. Clearly there is an interest in the archeology of the valley, and we are moving to make it one of our priorities at the museum,” said Dr. Sharon Kahin, Executive Director.
