In two years, the MYAP surveyed 2,757 acres within Boundary Lands, resulting in the study of 47 archeological sites. Full results of archeological work are available in technical reports submitted to Yellowstone National Park (MacDonald 2007; Maas and MacDonald 2008). The remainder of this paper provides a summary of the key findings of the MYAP in the 2007 and 2008 field seasons, including an overview of results of excavations at 24YE355-Cinnabar...
