WAS in Sublette County, Wyoming
The focus of the Upper Green River Basin Chapter of the WAS is archaeology in the Upper Green River Valley in western Wyoming. This is an area rich in history with archaeological artifacts dating back 10,000 years. Glaciation prior to 10,000 years ago effectively obliterated any archaeological evidence which may have been in many parts of our county.

Our efforts will be centered on education and information related to archaeology, preserving and protecting local archaeological sites, and socializing with others with a common interest in local area archaeology. We plan to have guest speakers, field trips and casual meetings. We encourage the promotion of scientific research and cooperation between the avocational archaeology enthusiast and professional archaeologists.

There are no qualification requirements to join.

Anyone with an interest is welcome. Dues are $25/year for an Individual, $30/year for a Family, $50/year for Institutional/Companies (US). Dues help pay for The Wyoming Archaeologist publication, published twice a year, as well as scholarships to worthy students. In addition, $1.00 and $2.40 from each individual and family membership respectively, is paid to the Wyoming Archaeological Foundation to help further scientific research in Wyoming and to aid in the management of the Hell Gap Site.

The Upper Green River Basin Chapter is formed in partnership with the Sublette County Historical Society, the parent organization of the Museum of the Mountain Man.
