Petroglyphs of West Central Wyoming
Content Description
This collection consists of reports on and descriptions of petroglyphs and pictographs created during the New Deal archaeology that happened across Wyoming during the late 1930s and early 1940s. Ted C. Sowers oversaw these reports as Supervisor for the Archaeological Project of the Works Project Administration. Danny N. Walker, PhD, RPA, Wyoming State Archaeologists' Office, writes in a poster presented at the Society for American Archaeology's 76th Annual Meeting, "As with many other WPA projects, the survey closed with the advent of World War II, but provided a basis for future archaeological research" (2011). The Natrona County Public Library held these reports before they were transferred to the Casper College Library's Special Collections.
