George C. Frison

The George C. Frison Institute is a UW research and outreach facility dedicated to the study of North American, High Plains, and Rocky Mountain archaeology and culture. The Institute fosters interdisciplinary and international scholarship, with an emphasis on early peoples and peopling of the Americas. The Institute maintains labs, administrates programs, and engages in public outreach. Most scientists at the Institute are engaged in studies leading to innovative analytical techniques of faunal remains, chipped stone remains, and site structure studies leading to new interpretations and ideas about prehistory. The Institute is dedicated to public education through volunteer participation in its field and lab programs, field school, consultations, public speaking, and cooperation with the Wyoming Archaeological Society.
