Paint Rock Canyon Archaeological Landscape

 

 
 

Read All About It:

The Paint Rock Canyon Archaeological Landscape, located on the western flanks of the Bighorn Mountains, consists of rockshelters and open camp sites. Archaeological investigations indicate that the cultural resources within the canyon consist of a set of locations representing occupation during all major prehistoric cultural periods of the region in a largely undisturbed natural setting. Diagnostic materials recovered from the surface indicate a temporal span from late Paleoindian (ca. 9000 B.P.) to Late Prehistoric periods.
