description: This paper makes use of an in-depth analysis of cultural remains at the Hogsback site (48UT2516), an Archaic housepit site in southwestern Wyoming (see Figure 1), to explore a set of issues relating to hunter-gatherer mobility in the Archaic era. This site, which was reoccupied successively and almost continuously over a period of at least 4,000 years, provides an ample data set against which to discuss such topics as changing settlement patterns and subsistence strategies. In this paper, it is argued although cultural use of the Hogsback site remained essentially constant over time in terms of the types of resources chosen for exploitation, certain changes in site use through time are apparent, in terms of occupation duration and the relative significance of each occupation within annual resource procurement rounds. These arguments are based on structure and feature morphology, as well as artifactual evidence.
