description: The EKW #1 site (48NA969) was located during a class III survey of the Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park in 1984 (Eckles 1984). The site appeared as a large surface scatter of artifacts and bone, covering over five acres. The site was considered unusual at the time due to the high numbers of prehistoric ceramic artifacts. Late Prehistoric age projectile points, a variety of chipped stone tools, shell beads and animal bone were also recorded during the surface inventory. The density of surface remains indicated the probability intact, buried artifacts were present at the site. Test excavations in 1985 confirmed the presence of a subsurface component and between 1985-1991 excavations were carried out at the site by the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist with assistance from the Wyoming Archaeological Society, students enrolled in an archaeology adult education class through Casper College and numerous volunteers.
