Voting Open Now for Wyoming Archaeology Awareness Month Poster

LARAMIE, Wyo. — April 8, 2025 — Voting is now open for the annual Society for American Archaeology (SAA) State Archaeology Celebration Poster contest. Wyoming has been participating in this contest since its inception in 1996 and has an astounding track record. The Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has submitted a poster each year for the competition, totaling 28 submissions. Of those submissions, 13 have received first prize, eight have received second prize, and five have received third prize.

You do not need to be a member of the SAA to vote. Please support this program and Wyoming Archaeology by heading to this link to vote online. Alternatively, navigate to SAA.org, Education & Outreach, Poster Contest to vote. Online voting will remain open until Tuesday, April 29. Voting in person will also occur at the SAA conference in Denver, CO, between April 23 and 26.

"The poster program is the centerpiece of Wyoming Archaeology Awareness Month each year. Folks love our posters, and they have been seen displayed around the country, in places like Chicago's Field Museum," says State Archaeology Month Coordinator Gwendolyn Kristy. The posters are distributed statewide, nationally, and internationally to nearly 2,000 people and organizations annually. The posters were developed to generate interest and understanding of archaeology for the public.

The 2024 poster, for which voting is now open, is titled "People & Plants" and highlights paleoethnobotany, the archaeological field that examines human-plant relationships. The poster features predominantly perishable items used for plant processing, plants archaeologists know were used for food and medicine, and tools constructed in part of plant material. According to the brochure author and subject matter expert Dr. Richard Adams, details about the lives of prehistoric plant gatherers are much less well known than those of hunters for a variety of reasons, including preservation bias and gender bias. "Processed plant materials in archaeological sites rarely survive the passage of millennia," Dr. Adams says.

The poster is available free of charge and may be picked up at the State Historic Preservation Office, Barrett Building, 2301 Central Avenue in Cheyenne, or in Laramie in the Anthropology building located at 12th and Lewis, Room 312 on the University of Wyoming's campus. The poster and brochure can also be viewed online on the Wyoming SHPO's website.

Firearms Friday Brings History to Life at the Wyoming State Museum

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Firearms Friday Brings History to Life at the Wyoming State Museum

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — April 7, 2025 — “Welcome to Firearms Friday,” booms the voice of Evan Green, a volunteer at the Wyoming State Museum, who has been sharing snippets of Wyoming's history through a weekly YouTube program called Firearms Friday for the past six years.

"Firearms have played a crucial role in Wyoming and the broader United States from colonial times to the present day," Green explains when discussing his video series hosted by the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne.

Unlike many firearms videos that concentrate on the guns themselves, Green's episodes use firearms to highlight significant aspects of Wyoming's history. This includes discussing firearms owned by notable Wyoming figures and those used in infamous events in the Cowboy State.

"The State Museum's collection contains a Colt Single Action Army Revolver that Tom Horn owned, the donor claimed," says Green. "However, research revealed that the gun was shipped three years after Tom Horn's execution in 1903. I discovered that its true owner, Earl Hayner, had been part of a posse that hunted down Earl Durand."

Durand was famously known as the "Tarzan of the Tetons." In 1939, he went on a rampage that thwarted the efforts of Wyoming law enforcement and even the Montana National Guard until he was killed during a bank robbery in Powell, Wyoming.

Green conducts extensive research before each episode, bringing the stories of various firearms to life. His research is supported by serial numbers found on more modern weapons and his extensive knowledge of older firearms, developed through years of building his gun collection and participating in shooting sports.

"Initially, I volunteered to help at the museum's front desk. But when a curator brought by a cart of older guns from the collection, I was able to identify almost all of them on the spot. This led to me being tasked with re-cataloging the Museum's firearm collection, and the YouTube show followed shortly after," said Green.

While some of the weapons featured on Firearms Friday have included pristine "safe queens" that appear to have never been fired, one of Green's favorite rifles in the collection reflects his long-standing relationship with firearms, which began at a young age while hunting and shooting on his family's farm.

"One of my favorite firearms in the Museum's collection is a Winchester Model 1873 saddle ring carbine. While it is scratched and scarred, that carbine was carried and used on a daily basis under harsh conditions – a legitimate, working firearm."

Firearms Friday is a production of the Wyoming State Museum, located at 2301 Central Ave., Cheyenne, where visitors can view some of the firearms showcased in the series in person. You can watch Firearms Friday weekly on the Museum's YouTube channel @wyomingstatemuseum4598.

Art in Public Buildings University of Wyoming Student Housing Project Artwork Selection Announced

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – March 31, 2025 – Through the Art in Public Buildings program, the Wyoming Arts Council is pleased to announce the selected artwork “Beauty of the West” to be created by David Eaton, will be installed in the University of Wyoming Student Housing dining area of the North Hall.

The Art in Public Buildings process includes a public Request for Qualification (RFQ) process, followed by the invitation of finalists, and review and selection by a unique project committee. Wyoming artists are given preference throughout the process. Eaton’s sculpture was ultimately selected via committee vote, which included key stakeholders from the University of Wyoming, as well as Laramie residents. Eaton’s piece is inspired by the striking landscape of Wyoming and will be created with cutting-edge technology to fully immerse residents and visitors to the North Hall. Utilizing CNC manufacturing, cut wood pieces reminiscent of lassos create a two-story sculpture showcasing UW’s classic brown and gold color palette.

The Art in Public Buildings program is administered by the Wyoming Arts Council and was established in 1991 to set aside a portion of capital construction funds for the sole use of commissioning public art for the building. Since then, over 200 pieces of art have been placed in and around buildings across Wyoming for the public to enjoy. The Wyoming Arts Council is pleased to welcome David Eaton (Seattle, WA) and his site-specific work for the University of Wyoming to that collection.

To see more of David Eaton’s work, visit his website partwise.art.
