Notes: “The Protohistoric evidence from the study area suggests very short term utilization of local resources, the use of shelters (occupied stone circles), an no patterned tendency for size of grouping.  Indeed, it appears that the small  l portion of the Hanna Basin represented by the Medicine Bow Mine was a thoroughfare and possible stop-over for very late groups.”  (From the Conclusion)  For a brief insight into Hanna, Wyoming, see https://cowboystatedaily.com/2022/09/27/legacy-of-tiny-hanna-wyoming-didnt-die-with-its-coal-miners/.   VERY RARE.  NO other copies available for sale, and NO libraries listed in OCLC.
