Tool find and reoccurring camp area in Goshen County, Wyoming. The Hell Gap site was first uncovered in the late 1950s. It contains a record that includes all cultural complexes known on the Plains between 12,000 and 8,000 years ago. Excavations and finds there helped establish the framework for Paleoindian archaeology as it is understood today in the North American Great Plains. In addition to the many tool finds, post hole marks and other finds indicate seasonal shelters in use at Hell Gap as long as 12000 years ago.
