A final report on the Harvard-Wyoming investigations at this important site was never prepared, prompting University of Wyoming researchers to reassemble and analyze the Hell Gap collections as part of a long-term project to rectify the situation (Byers 2001; Camp 2000; Knell 1999; Rapson and Niven 1999; Sellet 1999). Our paper summarizes results of analyses on the lithic and faunal remains recovered from the Cody Complex component at Locality V (Knell 1999; Knell et al. 2000).
