The Bureau of Land Management, in cooperation with the Wyoming Archaeological Society’s Upper Green River (UGR) Chapter, is seeking volunteers to assist in the recordation of Holden Hill. Shelley Gregory says that Holden Hill is an emigrant inscription site on the Sublette Cutoff, a shortcut which shaved about 85 miles and seven days off the main Oregon-California Trail route.
New technology such as 3D photography can capture more detail and allow the documentation of palimpsest inscriptions which are layered on top of each other.
The recordation effort is scheduled for Aug. 27 through 31. To volunteer or for more information, please contact Pinedale Field Office Archaeologist Sam Drucker at 307-367-5358 or sdrucker@blm.gov.
